With a legit 12.3 mile Time Trial, this is the fastest bike course around. Not to mention a shady and flat 4.4 mile run around a beautiful lake! The Swim is 1/2 Mile of calm and clean waters. If you haven't raced in Sharon for a while, come check out what Max has done with some simple changes to this classic course and our signature post race BBQ. You'll love this race!
