The Sprint
Triathlon swim is a simple triangulation around one buoy, 0.75K /
0.47 mile. It starts in the bay and finishes at the boat ramp Transition area. This is a friendly open-water swim
in a warm, dry climate. Water temperture will be periodically posted on this website. Wetsuits are permitted as
per USAT rules. The second swim for the Pumice Man event is an out-and-back from the Transition, just out and around
the buoy.

bike
course

The bike course is a nicely rolling loop around the reservoir,15K / 9.32
mile. The Transition area is just above the boat ramp. Head out from there, turn right at Ross Rd, merge right
into Wamic Market Rd and then F.A. Morrow Rd, and continue to circle around Pine Hollow. Morrow Rd will take you
back toward the campground, and continue straight on to the boat ramp Transition area.

run
course

The run course is a 5K / 3.11 mile out-and-back. It starts at the Transition
area, then turns right onto Ross Rd. Take the first right at Price Rd, which is the hard-pack gravel road just
after 1 kilometer. Another kilomometer and a half, and there's a turn-around at the bottom of a slightly steep
hill. Run back the same route, safely crossing Ross Rd and turning left towards the campground. Just before reaching
the boat ramp transition area, turn right into the campground to finish.

The Redneck Aquathon is the same course as the Sprint Triathlon, only without the bike leg.
|
|
The Pumice Man event is the same course as the Sprint Triathlon, except instead of running in to the
finish, participants run back to the transition area at the boat ramp and jump back into the water, circle around
the buoy, and back to the transition area. Then, the same bike and run legs follow, ending at the same finish as
the Sprint: 750 meter swim, 15 K bike, 5 K run + 750 meter swim, 15 K bike, 5 K run. There is one common transition
area for all three legs for both events.
