Course Description

The swim takes place in Little Campbell Lake and consists of a 0.5 mile out-and-back swim with large buoys marking the course. Triathlon participants start in the water rather than from the beach. Care should be taken to 'self-seed', meaning stronger swimmers start in the front. Wet suits are strongly recommended but are not necessary. The water temperature is usually in the mid-sixties.

Duathletes complete a short, 1.8-k run around the lake on hilly trails.

After exiting the transition, the 12.5 mile bike course begins on the Lake Trail and leads the participant through Kincaid Park over hilly terrain. While the mountain bike course is not technical, the course includes many steep ascents and descents. BE CAREFUL! Racers are urged to pre-ride the course several times prior to race day to familiarize themselves with the many potential hazards, including ruts, tight corners, trees, and steep descents. Care will be taken to mark the race well, but the racer is responsible for knowing the course. Helmets are mandatory and must be fastened before exiting the transition area. Removing or unfastening the helmet before returning to the transition area will result in disqualification.

One aid station will be located at the World Cup Start area. Bike racks will be available in the transition area. While on the bike course, race numbers must be visible from the back.

The 4.0 mile run course begins on the same trail as the bike course but turns off near the Raspberry parking lot to complete a lollipop, out-and-back course. An aid station will be located at the turnaround near the Raspberry parking lot. The course consists of dirt trails through a very beautiful part of Kincaid Park. While running, race numbers must be visible from the front. Lots of hills? Yup.
