Course Info: This is a unique new triathlon format where participants can choose which order in which to race!

SWIM: (approx. 800 yards) - The 800 yard swim will be a loop course in Aurora Reservoir. Participants choosing to swim first will begin from the starting line outside of the transition area which will be close to the beach. Partipants choosing not to swim first will access the beach through the "Exit" of the transition area.

BIKE: (approx. 15 miles) - The 15 mile bike portion of the course will be an out and back course on paved roads. Participants will exit the Aurora Reservoir complex traveling east on Quincy Avenue. The turnaround is on Quincy. The Bike course has rolling hills in both directions and offers a breathtaking view of the Front Range Mountains as cyclists return to the Reservoir.

RUN: (approx. 4 miles) - The 4 mile Run portion will be conducted on paths entirely within the Aurora Reservoir complex and will be a combination of cement and dirt paths. It will have some rolling hills but very little elevation gain and loss.

HOW'S IT ALL GOING TO WORK?: THE RACE STARTS OUTSIDE OF THE TRANSITION AREA. Participants will line up at the start line, grouped in their respective disciplines. A gun start will begin the race.

After completing the first leg, participants will enter the transition area through the "ENTER" gate and exit via the "EXIT" gate.

Swimmers will be assigned different cap colors depending during which portion of the race they swim.

Signposts, cones and volunteers will direct participants throughout the course.

On completing all three disciplines, participants will enter the transition are for the last time and exit through the "FINISH" chute to be greeted by the cheering crowds!
