• Description: The course consists of a ½ mile ocean water swim, bike leg of 13.7 miles and a 3.1 mile run. The swim portion of the race will be a straight point to point, starting at either the north or south end of Assateague Beach pending on which way the current is running, and heading down current back to the State Park area. From the beach athletes will head to transition which will be set up in the overflow parking lot of the State Park facilities. From here they will mount bikes and head straight out across Verrazono Bridge, down Rt. 611 to a designated turn around area and back to transition to dismount and start the last leg of the race. The run leg will stay on Assateague Island for 3.2 miles of fast, flat running! Then on to the Finish chute back at the transition area. We have been given permission to increase the race limit to 650 athletes.
