Swim
The swim will take place in beautiful Lake Michigan. Wetsuits will be allowed so long as the water temperature remains below 78 degrees Farenheit. The swim will be cancelled if the water temperature is at or below 50 degrees. Certified lifeguards will monitor the swim course as per USAT regulations. The swim will be a wave start beginning at 6:45 am and is point-to-point in a straight line along the lakefront.
Bike
The out and back course will leave the transition area in Gillson Park and head north up Sheridan Road along the lakefront. The course doubles back on itself. Sprint riders will take two loops of the course before heading back to transition. Super Sprint riders will take only one loop of the course. Helmets are required as per ANSI and USAT standards.
Run
The scenic, single-loop run course will leave the transition area and head south along Sheridan Road turning back north at Isabelle Street. Super Sprint runners will double back on the course taking them all the way to the finish line. Sprint runners will follow Sheridan Road up to Central Avenue. Runners will follow Central Avenue west to 9th Street, turn around and double back on the course taking them to the finish line.
There will be one aid station with fluids set up along the run course accessible for both distances.
