Course Overview
The Triathlon & Aquabike races begin with a 750-meter open water swim in Lake Cammack. Because swimming is normally restricted here, athletes can expect clean water and a unique venue experience. The time trial start format allows participants to enter the water individually, reducing congestion and creating a steady flow onto the course.
The 14.8-mile bike course travels through quiet rural roads surrounding the park, offering a smooth and uninterrupted ride.
The run is a 5K double loop on park roads and trails, with shade and natural surroundings providing a comfortable finish to the race.
