Findley Lake, NY US 14736

A 750m course in the quiet waters of Findley Lake. You will swim around the island located off the shores of The Camp at Findley.

The Olympic triathletes will swim two loops of the course.

Wetsuits are legal but not mandatory.

You are welcome to wear a personal swim buoy if you are more comfortable.  We would ask that you start at the back of the pack so as to not interfere with other swimmers.

Bike a beautiful loop course measuring 14.44 miles.  A beautiful warm-up along the lake turns into a challenging and fun hilly course with gorgeous views of the quiet countryside. **Olympic distance competitors will do two loops of the bike course:

LOUD Performance will be onsite pre-race for minor bike maintenance.

SAG vehicle on the course will be provided by Pearl City Cycle.

There is no aid station on the bike course.  There will be one in transition before you head out. 

*Olympic course will NOT go back to the starting point but rather bypass Sunnyside Lane as they head out to the 2nd loop.

The course is mostly flat for the Sprint triathletes and gets a little bumpier for the Olympic athletes as it follows along the lake shore.  

SPRINT racers will turn around at the 1.55 mile marker and OLYMPIC runners will continue on around the end of the lake to the 3.1 mile mark and turn around.

 Fully stocked aid stations with Hammer Nutrition products at every mile.
