Course Description
SWIM:
The swim is a 250 meter pool swim in the Franklin Creek Pool. Participants start at one side of the pool and snake their way up and down each lane as they work towards the other side of the pool. Being a pool swim race, participants must submit an estimated 100 yard swim time when registering. These times are used for seeding purposes. It is in your best interest to submit a time as accurate as possible. Submitting a time that is too fast for you puts you up with swimmers who will be passing you during the swim – not good for you or them. Putting a time that is too slow places you with slower swimmers and forces you to have to pass everyone. The ideal scenario for all participants is to have people submit accurate times – the whole swim flows better.Swim caps are not provided for pool swim events. If you would like to wear a swim cap, then be sure to bring your own.
The swim start process involves all the Age Groupers, Clydesdales, Masters Clydesdales, Athenas, and Relay Teams going off first, followed by all the Novices.
BIKE:
The bike course is a 18K loop. The course is completely flat and fairly shaded. The course takes place in the beautiful Landings development and surrounding parts of Skidaway Island. The roads are open to traffic – but traffic is usually fairly light.
RUN:
The 5K run course is a single out and back, primarily on sidewalks and golf paths. The course is also completely flat and heavily shaded. The highlight to the event is the vistas at the run turn around. Views of marshland and estuarine birds all while running over wooden cart paths.
