Southern Tier Triathlon Club Summer Tri Series

Park Avenue
Cassadaga, NY US 14718

400 yd swim in the calm and lovely Lower Lake of the Cassadaga Lakes.

From the sandy shore, with an in-water start, we swim out around the pontoon boat and back.

You are welcome to use a personal swim buoy for your own comfort.  We ask that you begin at the back of the pack so as not to interfere with other racers. 

It’s hilly, really fun and a great challenge for every level rider.  

The 13 mile course is all right-hand turns.   

There are no aid stations on the bike course.  There will be one in transition.

The 2 mile run begins as you run out of transition.  

Running along the lake, the course is mostly flat with one little “bump”, continue to the turn-around point and head back the same way to the finish line. 

Aid station in transition and at the turn-around point.
