FULL distance racers will swim in a clockwise direclon exilng the water directly in front of transilon. They will have less than 100m from water exit to the T1 Lming mats and transiloning to the Mt. bike course. The swim route will be marked with mullple giant buoys marking right hand turns.

3 THE MOUNTAIN BIKE This is an off-road bike course. Sorry, no road bikes, cyclocross bikes or hybrid bikes allowed. Please Note: There is no water aid on the bike course so be sure to carry what you need however there is a designated gel drop zone. Please help us keep the park clean by using the gel drop zone for your refueling and retrieving your old water bo\le a]er the race. FULL COURSE AND DUATHLON you must complete 2- loops of the course (NOTE: This race grew in 2015 so underwent a redesign for 2 loops which are not the same. LOOP 1 is 7.8km inner loop. LOOP 2 is 13.2km outer loop. These loops overlap for their first 3.5km s before separalng out. The enlre course will be marked with flagging, caulon tape, turning arrow s, caulon signs, and other direclonal/informalve signage as required. AddiLonally, arrows and/or caulon tape and/or signage will be used to highlight significant turns, hills, or other hazards. MORE ON NEXT PAGE!

4 THE MOUNTAIN BIKE CONTINUED It is VERY IMPORTANT that you keep track of what lap you are on! You are required to do 2 loops of the bike course. ONE INNER LOOP AND ONE OUTER LOOP. At the end of the loop (as shown on the map), there will be signage indicalng: a LEFT turn for racers to conlnue onto the 2 nd loop of the course a RIGHT TURN/RETURN TO TRANSITION to take racers (who completed 2 laps) back into the transilon to the run course. AddiLonally, there will be volunteers at key turning points to help direct you along the way. It is your responsibility to keep track of your laps and know the race map. GEL DROP ZONE: There is a designated area just a]er transilon across the parking lot field for gel or fuel packaging to be dropped. This area will be marked as the Gel Drop Zone. This is an area with flat terrain, where it is safe to fuel-up and drop your garbage. We are trying very hard to keep the trails clean, so please Lme your fueling for this area, or keep your garbage with you. You will pass this zone one Lme on each lap. SHORT DISTANCE you must complete only 1 lap of the 7.8km course, which will be well marked. There will be no need to count laps, as your route is a single loop followed by a return to the transilon zone.

5 THE RUN The run begins with a steady hill along an old gravel road, which follows the perimeter of the quarry before heading into the escarpment trails. The run will be marked with a combinalon of arrows, caulon tape, and pylons. There will be several water stalons along the trail with Sports drink and water. Kilometer markers will be every 1 km. Your home stretch will have you heading directly toward the quarry lake and around it before you enter the finishing shoot in front of the crowd! THE OPEN TRAIL RUN *** Maps have be updated to show the addilon of 1.5km as described below*** The 11.9km open trail run will use the same course as the Full Triathlon and Duathlon final run course with the addilon of starlng from behind the main hanger and running the gravel road seclon which follows the perimeter of the quarry lake. You will run towards the finish line however take a RIGHT up the road just before the chute where you will Le into the main race course. A]er complelng a loop in the trails, parlcipants will drop back down the escarpment path and once again follow the perimeter of the quarry lake on their way to the finish line.
