COURSE OUTLINES

Sprint Triathlon & Duathlon:

This year we are going back to the traditional order of disciplines. The race will start at the swim area next to the Marina. The swim will be in a semi triangle shape ending at the boat launch ramp. After the swim, you will transition to your bike and loop around the lake to then transition back at  Lake of the Woods Marina.  After the bike, lace up your running shoes and head towards the Great Meadow. The run is a 3 mile trail run, which goes down to the Great Meadow and loops back to the Marina.
