• Description: This year's event will be bigger and better than last year's, with up to 300 spots available for individuals and/or teams for the sprint-distance race. Course includes a 0.5-mile swim in Blakely Harbor*; a 12.5-mile bike loop around Eagledale, Crystal Springs, and Lynwood Center; and a 3.5-mile run out and back along Country Club Rd.
  
  Though not as cold as the open Sound, the water in Blakely Harbor is quite chilly -- so WETSUITS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!! Bigger and better, this year's event has been expanded to be a full sprint-distance race, accommodating up to 300 participants, and being held in conjunction with the Taste of Lynwood festival. All proceeds will benefit local charities. Also new for this year are award categories by bicycle type (including recumbents*) as well as age division, due to the hilly nature of the course. *Please note that although this is not a USAT sanctioned event, we do follow USAT guidelines; the inclusion of recumbents is one of the few exceptions.
