CHECK-IN:
France Park beach area; Friday, July 28, 6:00–8:00PM or Saturday, July 29, 7:00–8:30AM.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS:
SWIM: The swim start is from a sandy beach. The course is a 0.5-mile, clockwise, rectangular loop in France Park’s clean, clear rock quarry lake. Lifeguards will be patrolling the course on kayaks or canoes.
BIKE: The 10 mile bike segment is a generally fast course, but includes some sections of difficult singletrack. Two laps of the 5-mile course will be required. There is one difficult descent where a dismount is recommended. There are several small (less than 50' elevation) climbs and descents on the course.
RUN: The run course (approximately 4 miles) begins with a wide flat pathway, with 2-way runner traffic. After about 1/4 mile, the course becomes one-way and enters some narrower and more challenging trail that makes a couple of climbs and descents. The majority of the route is flat. There will be two laps of the one-way loop. An aid station will be located at the loop’s start/end, which is about the 2-mile mark midway.
