• Description: Your race begins with a short 2K run just after the triathletes start their race. Walk out to Lake Street (not far from the finish line). Duathletes will gather there about 10 min before their race to receive any last minute pre- race information before beginning. The first 2 K is run on rolling paved roads with a short distance following some hard packed trails. The Sprint Bike Course starts off flat for the first couple kilometers before heading up to the top of the escarpment. The climb is less than a kilometer long, however it`s very steep. Compared to Milton, it`s shorter but a bit steeper. A 25 tooth or larger rear cog can make your day a lot easier. Once you crest the hill, it`s a flat and fast loop before descending the same hill you went up. Be aware that the descent has some twists and turns so please use caution, and your brakes. The run course is the flattest in our series with a short section through some trails on the return trip to the finish line. This event is lovely because the site is very compact and makes for a lot of festivity!
