This is not USAT sanctioned event, however, we still request that you abide by all the rules of the road set out by USAT.

The swim is done in waves in 3 minutes intervals, first the Olympic triathletes, and then the Sprint triathletes. There will be a break between the Olympic and the sprint waves to allow all Olympic athletes to get onto the 2nd lap before we start the Sprint triathletes.

The bike is an out and back course on residential and city area roads.

The run is also an out and back course with fairly level terrain, mostly along the beautiful river trails.
