SHORT SPRINT

200 Yard Swim, 6.9 Mile Bike, 1.4 Mile Run

This is the perfect beginner Triathlon.

The swim will be split into waves so that you will have fewer people swimming around you. A simple out and back course keeping the yellow hippity-hops on your RIGHT and turning at the LARGE ORANGE PUMPKIN buoy. There are plenty of life guards & buoys handy.

The bike area will be separated from the Sprint race. There are no difficult hills on the bike course that runs along the lake and around a large farm and then back.

The run is completely flat and never far from the start/finish line so your fans can cheer you along the way.

LONG SPRINT

800 Yard Swim, 17.2 Mile Bike, 5.3 Mile Run

400 yards out and 400 yards back keeping the yellow hippity-hops on your RIGHT and turning at the LARGE ORANGE PUMPKIN Buoy. Then a short run up the boat ramp to the transition area.

The bike starts on Brady and then US 12 and is flat and fast coming into Edwardsburg. A right turn on M-62 gives you a few rolling hills until you turn right and head into the country. This section is fast, fast, fast until you hit Calvin Hill Road. Not steep but it goes on for 3/4 of a mile until you turn right and again have rolling hills that feel like you are going down hill most of the time. Right turn and a down hill to a left turn. Sit up and be smart on this turn! You quickly arrive back at US 12 and it's flat until you make the right turn to head back to the transition area.

The run is flat and beautiful with plenty of shade along the way. One small hill about a mile from the finish.

This is a great course!
