Event Description

This event is designed for Division III programs to gain experience in NCAA draft legal racing, competing with other DIII programs. The course is contained within a beautiful park scape setting. The 750m swim will take place in Lake Decatur with beach entry and exit. Water temperature averages 72 degrees on this date. The 16k bike will be a hilly and technical four loop course. The 5k run will be a 2 loop fast and flat course along the lake shore. The lap out rule will be waived for this event to give every athlete the opportunity to finish a full course in a DIII context.
