The swim will be held in the beautiful waters of Bear Lake. The swim course is triangular, and will have three tetrahedron buoy markers at each corner. The Olympic distance swim will round all three buoys, heading toward the far left buoy,
far right buoy, and heading back in toward the buoy placed near the shore in a clockwise direction. The Sprint course will share the last "leg" of the same course - it will head toward the far right buoy first, and
return back to the buoy near the shore. The Olympic course is indicated in black arrows, and Sprint in red on the diagram. See the swim course maps for visual directions.
Bike

The bike course will start right out of the transition area in the parking lot of the Redezvous Beach and follow the road out to highway 30 for a short stretch,
turn onto Main St. in Laketown for another brief stretch, and finally connect with Cisco Rd that continues on the east side of the lake. The sprint turnaround will be roughly
6.25 miles out, and the olympic will be roughly at 12.5 miles. There will be aid stations provided at the sprint and olympic turnaround points to provide racers
that may need it. These roads should have very little or no traffic and they are for the most part very flat so you should be able
to have extremely good times!
Run

The run course will begin out of the transition area and circle through the campground and other remote streets, with a brief stretch on highway 30. The sprint distance will
be one loop and the olympic will be two loops. There will be aid stations with water and other drink provided at each mile of the course. The course will have likely have some spectators
in the campground area so you should have plenty of cheer to keep going hard!
