THE COURSE.

The swim course is a modified V shape in Paradise Cove at Castaic Lake, with 8 lifeguards in the water on paddleboards. The bike course then goes out on back roads to limit your interaction with cars. The bike course does include some U-turns on back roads to allow this, so athletes should slow down at the turn around points. The run is primarily on the rolling trails overlooking Castaic Lake.
