Event details and schedule

The Race:
At your designated start time, you will begin a 15 minute swim in our outdoor heated pool located at the Dan Oden Swim Complex. The next leg of the event will be spent on the spin bikes which will be set up on the side of the swimming pool. Lastly, you finish the race with a 15 minute run around the swim complex.

Transitions: You will be allowed 15 minutes to transition from the swim event to the spin bikes and another 5 minutes to change from spin bikes to the run.

Scoring: While this race is more about putting forth your best effort than actually competing. We do know that some like to see how they compared to others in the event, so for those interested, we will be using a point system to score each leg of the event. Scores from all three legs will be aggregated and posted up for people to see the following day on the Sports Center Facebook and Instagram pages with bib numbers in place of names.

Pre-requisite: Participants must be comfortable in the water, be able to swim at least 8 feet, and youth athletes at least 4’11” (4 feet, 11 inches) tall for spin bike use.

*Note that participants will be divided into different waves/groups of 10-12 people. Those who register with a group or larger party may be placed in different waves depending on time of registration and availability.
