The SPRINT course will be a 750-meter rectangle in a counterclockwise direction with an in-water start.

OLYMPIC participants will come out of the water, run around the buoy and enter the water again for your second loop of the swim.

 Wave starts for men, women & relay teams.

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.

No aid stations on the bike course; there will be one in transition with Hammer Nutrition products and water.

This course is flat and fast.
