    The course is marked with directional signs and mile markers every two miles. All turns will be staffed with Tri the Parks personnel and uniformed Sheriff officers, but it is the racer’s responsibility to know the course. This course is open to traffic, so in addition to course turns, Sheriff personnel will be stationed at other significant intersections. Please do not turn just because a patrol car is at the intersection, look for signage and Tri the Parks personnel.

    Intermediate Run Course: The run course is a two lap (3.1 mile each lap), 6.2 mile run that follows trail for first half mile and then follows paved park roads for remaining course for each lap. Water stations are located at each mile of the course.

    The duathlon start line is located adjacent to the race finish line and will start at 7:30 a.m. at the same time the triathlon begins. The first leg of the event consists of a 3.1 mile run course which follows the triathlon run course in reverse of the direction of the second run leg (see map at website). The bike course is the same course as the triathlon course and the final run leg follows the same 6.2 mile course as the triathlon (two 3.1 mile laps).

    INTERMEDIATE AQUABIKE COURSE:

    The Aquabike course consists of the same swim and bike legs as the triathlon. The swim portion of the race will be conducted in a time trial start with athletes lining up in race number sequence and starting every 5 seconds.
