Course Description

The Swim: The 1.2-mile swim is held in warm, crystal clear Lake Dunmore. The swim will be a two loop course which is GPS measured and lined with buoys. There will be wave starts of no more than 100 participants per wave. The swim is extremely safe as you are rarely in over 6 feet of water at any given point. There will be lifeguards in kayaks and boats at various locations monitoring the course at all times. Anticipated water temperature will be in the low to mid 70’s.

The Bike: The 56-mile bike is a beautiful “lollipop” course, which we like to describe as “rolling”. The route is extremely spectator friendly, open to traffic and will be monitored closely by police and traffic control officers as well as course marshals. Police support will be at turnaround points to ensure safety of turns. These officers will be stopping traffic to allow for your turn. You will, as always, need to use caution when making those turns. The elevation of the course ranges from 300 ft to 650 ft. as illustrated by our elevation profile. The course has lots of new pavement with wide shoulders and will be staffed with aid stations handing water bottles to all participants as requested. A bike mechanic will be roaming the course to provide aid as needed. Absolutely no drafting. To view a course map please click the link on the left side of this page.

The Run: The 13.1-mile run is a GPS measured out and back course. As it is an out and back course the run should provide for excellent spectator support. Aid stations will be found at approximately every mile and will be loaded with water, sports drinks, energy bars, gels, fruit, and more. Course marshals will be roaming the route and will provide assistance as needed. To view a course map please click the link on the left side of this page.
