  • Description: The Twin Rivers YMCA Triathlon was formerly known as the New Bern YMCA Triathlon.

    The swim is a 400 yard pool swim at the Twin Rivers YMCA's outdoor pool facility. Participants enter the pool through an zero entry ramp and start at one side of the pool and snake their way up and down each lane as they work towards the other side of the pool. All participants must submit a 100 yard swim time for starting positioning purposes. Participants will be placed from fastest to slowest.

    The bike course is one 10 mile loop. The course is flat and takes place in neighborhood roads that surround Twin Rivers YMCA. The roads are open to traffic, with intersections manned by New Bern Police Department and Volunteers to control traffic through though out the ride and maximize safety.

    The 5K run course is a loop around the historic Ghent neighborhood, right outside of Downtown New Bern. The course is almost completely flat with a few small inclines.
