 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. |
