OLYMPIC DISTANCE

The Olympic Distance Triathlon is a 1,500-meter swim, 40K bike, and 10K run.

In wave starts every five minutes, athletes will begin based on age group divisions. The 1,500-meter swim goes out past the three buoys counter-clockwise and back toward the shoreline, exiting into TRANSITION 1. After transitioning on the grass towards the BIKE OUT exit, a quick climb awaits you and your bike to get out of the park (have your gears set to easy!).

After transitioning on the grass just by the swim exit, a quick climb awaits you and your bike to get out of the park (have your gears set to easy!). Turning right onto San Pedro Road, riders will head north a short distance to the Short Lap turnaround at Biscayne Dr to then head towards the South turnaround at Brickyard Rd. 

Riders then complete 3 LONG LAPS from the South turnaround towards the North turnaround at Back Ranch Meadows campground entrance, heading back again towards the South turnaround. Riders repeat this lap 2 more times North/South for a total of 3 long laps. After completion of the 3rd long lap, riders turn right on Cantera Way to return to the transition area.

Following TRANSITION 2, participants will complete two laps of our our 10K run, turning LEFT out of the park for a scenic course, along the water’s edge. Runners will head towards the South turnaround at Main Dr and return heading towards the 10K turnaround at Cantera Way. After the 10K turnaround runners head back towards the South turnaround to complete another lap. After completion of the 2nd lap, runners turn right on Cantera Way to return to the FINISH!
