The Swim / Canoe is an out and back from the beach. We will have a line of pontoons and buoys stretching out into the lake with lifeguards and others on each side to spot any swimmers in trouble. You will start on the left hand side and swim out to; and swim through a break in the line then returning back to the beach on the right side of the pontoons. Once on the beach it is a short run (250') up a small incline to the first transition area. You will grab your bike and run to the mounting mat and receive your first time record as you hit the bike route.
The Bike Route is a straight shot out of the park. The first 2.5 miles is all climbing, but then you get to the designated turnaround point and get to ride down hill for the next 2.5 miles.
The Run Route will have your legs carry you back along the lake shore, a couple of climbs and back to the beach pavilion for a great finish and a short walk to the food!

The Swim is three sides of a square. We will have a line of pontoons and buoys stretching out into the lake with lifeguards and others to spot any swimmers in trouble. You will start on the left hand side (or outside of the square) ending back on the beach on the right side of the pontoons. Once on the beach it is a short run (500') up a small incline to the first transition area. You will grab your bike and run to the mounting mat and receive your first time record as you mount your bike.
The Bike Route is a straight shot out of the park. The first 4 miles is all climbing, and then race towards Highland and into the hills that this area is known for (welcome to Glacier Valley). After that first bit of climbing you get to follow ridge tops and river valley until mile 14. Then we find out what you are made of; 5 miles of climbs, false tops, and rollers will put a hurt into some of the best athletes, for those that survive, the last 6 miles its downhill into the park back to the first transition point.
The Run Route is along the same route as last year but we have re organized it so that you will start from the beach parking lot. This will give you a few more feet of flat shoreline running before getting into the wooded hills. It will be a 5 mile cross country route starting along the lake. All the trails (about 50% of the course) are dirt/grass. All road sections will be in the park, with minimal traffic. You will run through woods, prairie grass, across bridges, and of course along the lake back to the finish line just steps away from food and refreshments.
