1500m Swim / 24.8mi Bike / 10k Run This rectangular course starts and finishes at the Boulder Beach south access ramp. Athletes will swim slightly right to the first buoy, keeping it on their right, then follow the counter-clockwise course keeping all remaining buoys on their left. Olympic athletes will make their first left hand turn at the second green buoy. Kayaks, sea doos, boats, lifeguards and scuba divers will be in the water to support all athletes. If you need a rest, while in the water, waive your arms or simply swim to the nearest kayak. You can hold on to any vessel without penalty as long as there is no forward propulsion. If you need to cut your swim short for any reason, let the water support team member know, and they will bring you in to shore. Bike: 24.8mi / 40k Interactive Map Printable PDF Course Modified to use River Mountain Loop Trail All athletes will exit transition and make a right-hand turn on Lakeshore Dr. After about 8.2 miles, Olympic athletes will turn around at the designated spot on Lakeshore (mile marker 8.74 mi), then return the way they came, but continuing about 2.5 miles PAST BOULDER BEACH, athletes will make a left turn onto the Historic Railroad Trailhead, follow the Marshal directions onto the sidewalk and turn right onto the River Mountain Loop Trail. A steady 4.3% climb for a little over 5.6 miles will lead you to a left hand turn onto Nevada Wy, then a 6% climb for about a mile and ahhhh… you reach the home stretch and a brief chance to coast. The left hand turn into transition is sharp and on a down-hill. Please watch your speed to avoid injury. Olympic athletes will benefit from one aid station at or near mile 19. Run: 6.2mi / 10k Interactive Map Printable PDF The run course will take you out the opposite end of T2 where you will make a right hand turn on Utah St. After a left on Wyoming, a right on River Mountain Trail Rd, and a right on Adams, you will then turn left back onto Utah and head out towards the desert. After a right on the newly paved road with no name… near the gun club, you will hit the turnaround point where you will return the way you came to finish strong! There will be 3 aid stations on this course, allowing Olympic athletes 6 opportunities for support.
