400 Yards Sprint | 1200 Yards Olympic

The swim course is an open water swim in very calm Double Oak Lake in Oak Mountain State Park and conducted in a time-trial fashion. Race numbers are assigned by estimated swim time for all categories. A racer will enter the water approximately every 3 seconds. Relay teams and Aquabike will start by estimated swim time mixed in with individuals.The swim starts adjacent to the beach area with the exit at the boat ramp near the multi-use field where the transition area will be staged. Keep Buoys on your left.  Follow race morning instructions to know which buoy to follow to the swim exit.

12.7 Miles Sprint | 25.4 Miles Olympic

The bike course is on nicely paved roads with a bike lane in Oak Mountain State Park. Please use the bike lane when there is one available. For USA Triathlon rules, the bike lane will be considered staying to the far right, but you will not be penalized if you cross the white line that separates the bike lane from the main drive. The course is an out-and-back course on the main park drive (where Findlay Drive becomes Oak Mtn Park Road) and Oak Mtn Park Road (also known as Terrace Drive.) This beautiful course is moderately hilly with some nice fast sections as well. There will not be hydration or nutrition support on the bike course. Plan to be self-sustaining by bringing and carrying your own hydration/nutrition. The Olympic course is two loops of the sprint course.
