Swimmers will STAY IN WATER TO COMPLETE LOOP ONE. EXIT ONLY AT END OF SECOND LOOP. Keep buoys to your Right. Follow flagging to transition area. Water temp approx. 73.
Bike Courses will be modified from previous years, please stay tuned for a most amazing experience!
RUN Course Map-The Run course has been modified to stay around the dam. Runs will leave the campground/transition and to 58 then across the bridge and back down the other side of the dam to turnaround and head back. Half Iron will complete 2 loops.
Note for the Half Iron: we are instituting "cut off times" for the safety of participants, volunteers and support staff - limits noted are from the start of final starter: swim 1:15, bike 5:15 hours, run 1/2 way point 7:15 - finish line, music, etc. will be in place for all finishers - venue tear-down may begin depending on severe weather forecast, as in past years. Safety is our first priority.
