TRIATHLON COURSE:

  • Swim Course: The 600 m swim starts off of the dock and finishes at the boat ramp and is marked by large START and FINISH signs. Swimmers will swim 200 m out to the 1st buoy, make a left turn, swim parallel the shore for 200 m, then make a left turn for the final 200 m. The wetsuit ruling will be made when the USAT Official takes the race day water temperature reading on the morning of the race. Wetsuits are legal when the water temperature is below 78 degrees. 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.
  • Bike Course: The 10.9 mile bike course follows the beautiful roads of northern Hall County.
  • Run Course: The run is a 5k course consists of two laps around the paved walking path. Portions of this course will have runners traveling in both directions please stay to the right.

DUATHLON COURSE: The duathlon run leg starts in the vicinity of the swim start. The run then follows the route described above (please note the duathlon run is not reversed at Don Carter State Park). The bike leg and second run leg are the same as the triathlon course.

AQUABIKE COURSE: All Aquabikers start in the time trial swim start and complete the same swim and bike course as the triathletes. After completing the bike course, athletes should rack their bike and exit transition with the runners (opposite the bike in and out) and go around transition to the finish line. Aquabikers will find a green wristband in their packets to be worn during the race to help distinguish you.

PARKING: Parking opens at 6:00 AM will be on a first-come, first serve basis and volunteer attendants will direct you to a space. Parking will begin in the primitive camping area. Overflow parking will be at the beach and then the horse-trailer parking area. Please remember to bring your photo ID with you as it is a long walk to race check-in/transition.
