BIKE

13 miles
Please note the course was changed in 2017.
This is a fast course! The route follows along the lake with only one climb as you arrive back to transition. The bike course starts and finishes in the same location. The total elevation is +/-385ft. The average grade is less than 0.5%. There are no aid stations on the bike.

RUN

3.1 miles
This out and back 3.1 mile route takes you along the beautiful lake shore. The road is a combination of pavement and compact gravel. Plenty of trees give cover to the summer sun as you make your way though the course.

When you exit transition, there is a 6ft elevation gain up the side of the road to get onto the run course. Once you turn left on to the course, your next turn is the turn around. That's it. It is a straight, flat, out and back along the lake.

AID STATIONS
There is an aid station at mile 1 and 2 of the 5k run course. Aid stations will be stocked with Heed sports drink and Hammer Gels. Our aid stations always have a box of the emergency items such as vasoline, electrolyte tabs, bandaids, sunscreen etc. If you need something, ask an aid station volunteer.
Beautiful views and flat run!
