COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

***Bike course is same as 2024 (Beaver Dam Road)***

TRIATHLON (SWIM, BIKE, RUN)
The swim is a half mile out and back open water course that begins at the main beach at Canoe Creek State Park. The bicycle course is a 13-mile loop around the lake consisting of both flat areas and rolling hills. A 5k run completes the triathlon in a loop around the park with rolling hills. 
DUATHLON (RUN, BIKE, RUN)
The first run portion of the race consists of 2 miles (same course as the walk). Start for the duathlon is at 7:50AM and will be at the top of the transition area where the 5k and 2 mile walk starts. Once you run back into the park you will be directed to the transition area to complete the same 13 mile bike course the triathletes complete. After the bike portion you will complete the same 5k course as the triathletes.
5K RUN
The 5k race is the same course used by the triathletes during the last leg of their event. It covers a loop around the park with rolling hills.
2 MILE RUN & WALK
One of the most scenic and beautiful courses in the wellness series for walkers, this timed walk is fun for competitive walkers and families alike!
DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS PLEASE REFRAIN FROM WEARING HEADPHONES.
