Course Information
Transition will open at 0630 the day of the event. The first wave will start at 0830.
Swim Course – 750m
A 750m open water swim in the calm and beautiful Popolopen Lake. The swim follows a counterclockwise direction, keeping yellow buoys to the left at all times. Kayaks will be in the water to ensure you stay on track and for safety purposes. You may use a kayak to stop and rest if you are having difficulty, but forward motion by use of a kayak is forbidden unless for safety purposes.
Bike Course – 22K
The bike course is 22K in length and heads out of Camp Buckner via Patton Rd, then a right turn onto Route 293 before the bike turn around at the 5K point. Continue Northeast on Route 293 back towards Camp Buckner but continue past Camp Buckner until you reach the second turnaround point, just past the 15K point at the bottom of the long downhill section. Route 293 has rolling hills and a wide shoulder for riding. Return back to the entrance of Camp Buckner and take a right turn and return to transition.
Run Course – 5K
The run course tracks a rolling course on paved roads within the grounds of Camp Buckner and Camp Natural Bridge.
