SWIM

The expected water temp in September, is between 68-75º.

At the swim start, please look for the signs for average 100 yard swim paces and seed yourself according to your swimming ability. 

From here we will be conducting a rolling start. What does this mean? We will funnel athletes through a chute, approximately 10 feet wide, into the water. Once you cross the timing mat, your race time starts. Why the rolling start? If everyone seeds themselves correctly, it’s safer, reduces congestion, and athletes can start together with friends and family members regardless of age/gender. 

All distances begin the swim by entering and finishing on the north lake on the east side, closest to transition. Thank you Still Water Estates for letting us play in your lake for the morning!

SWIM CAPS ASSIGNMENTS:

Long Course - Red caps

Olympic Course - Green Caps

Sprint - Pink Caps

DISTANCES:

The Sprint course consists of a single 750 meter loop, while the Olympic course consists of a single .9 mile loop.

The Long Course swim is a 1.2 mile swim consisting of a large full 1 mile loop, followed by a smaller .2 mile loop.

Still Water is 8’ deep and is about 60’ wide. In the event that you need to get out, it’s easy to get to the side of this lake.

Water safety folks on Kayaks and SUP’s will be monitoring the water portion of the event.

If you find yourself in need of support while in the water, simply wave your hand/ arms or swim to the nearest support team member. You may hold on to any support vessel without penalty as long as there is no forward movement. If, for any reason, you need to cut your swim short,  let the water support team know and give them your race number.  They will bring you to back to land.

T1 and T2  will be at Still Water Lakes Resort.  

BIKE COURSE

 A FEW RULES TO REMEMBER:

1. Helmets are required at ALL times on the bike course. Be sure your helmet is strapped before you exit the transition area, and do not release your helmet strap until you have racked your bike. (USAT rules!)

2. No Headphones at anytime on the swim, bike and run courses. No music playing from your phone. If you carry your phone, you cannot pull it out to take pictures, play music or call your buddy.  If there is an emergency you are witnessing, you may use your phone after you have stopped and dismounted from your bike)

3. NO Drafting.  We have USA Triathlon officials ready to dish out penalties to those who draft.  Drafting is considered riding three bike lengths behind another rider.  

*Please visit  www.usatriathlon.org for a complete list of triathlon rules and safety protocols. 

ENTERING ANTELOPE ISLAND

When you enter Antelope Island, follow the cones which will direct you to the far right of the entrance. They will be zig zagged on purpose to force you to slow down.  Antelope Island officials are requiring you slow down for a moment to collect bib numbers.  (sorry its just part of the rules)

Be sure that your race numbers are visible as well.

It's important to know and familiarize yourself with race rules. We strongly encourage you to visit www.usatriathlon.org for all the rules of triathlon!

BIKE COURSES

The maps below may be modified based on the progress of road construction in the area. 

Athletes will dismount just before T2 and get ready for the fast and flat run.

NOTE: There will be two aid stations on the bike course for the Long Distance Course.  There are no aid stations on the bike course for the Olympic and Sprint Distance Courses. 

RUN COURSE

The run course will take you around the swim venue and along the bike trail parallel to the new Legacy Highway, and will primarily be on paved bike trails. 

REMEMBER, Red signs mean Run Course.  Blue Signs mean Bike Course. 

THE AQUABIKE

The Aquabike race begins with the triathlon and follows the triathlon course.  The only difference is that your race officially finishes when you cross into the transition area with your bike.  Be sure to head over to the finish-line area for your medal, awards, etc.  

THE DUATHLON:

The Duathlon begins immediately following the triathlon start with the bike segment, following the triathlon course. Depending on the total number of participants, you will either start in the transition area, lined up single file, OR outside of transition.  Your race will start as a time-trial start (one at a time, 3-5 seconds apart)

STILL WATER LAKE IS THE HOME TO THE FOLLOWING

1. Start line
2.  T1 & T2
3. Timing chip pickup and body marking.

JENSEN NATURE PARK IS THE HOME OF THE FOLLOWING

1. Event parking
2. Finish-Line

PARKING: 

Parking is available at Jensen Nature Park, and surrounding neighborhoods near Jensen Park. Updated parking maps are shown below.  Due to road construction on Bluff Street, we encourage you to park in the neighborhoods surrounding the swim venue.

**Gentile Street South and West of Transition is reserved for the bike course. DO NOT PARK on the north side of Gentile Street next to the lakes. Thanks!

Wit multiple start times, we cannot have cars congesting up the areas where cyclists will be leaving and arriving transition.  So please, STAY TO THE EAST OF TRANSITION AREA and park in the neighborhoods.  Try to avoid Parking on Gentile as this is part of the run course as well.  Ideal parking is near Jensen Park (home of the finish-line). 

PLAN AHEAD! Your start line is a 1/2 mile walk or ride from Jensen Park on a newly paved bike path which crosses under the West Legacy Hwy. 

LEAVE NO TRACE

Litter could jeopardize the life of this and any other event. In addition to littering not being cool, USAT officials may give you a time penalty for littering on the race course, in transition or at the start/finish-line.

All athletes are required to retrieve any gel packet or water bottle that is discarded during the bike. A USAT “abandoning of equipment” time penalty will result if littering is witnessed by a USAT official. Please also keep control of all gel packets during the bike and run.

SPECTATORS

You may park in the neighborhood streets East of the swim venue, and also Northwest of the swim venue.  (See parking map below). After the swim, you have a nice 1/2 mile walk to the finish-line on the paved trail just east of the swim venue.

SAFETY / MEDICAL

Medical personnel will provide on-site first aid and medical assistance if needed. They will be located at the start and near the finish line. 

Lifeguards on kayaks & SUP’s  will be monitoring the water portion of the event.

VOLUNTEERS

Let’s get real- We don’t know what we’d do without the fun loving people that come out and give their time to support events. PLEASE show them the utmost respect and freely pass out “Thank you’s” and high 5’s!

TIMING CHIPS, BODY MARKING, AND AFFIXING YOUR BIKE AND BIB NUMBERS

Volunteers will be there bright and early to get your  body marked with your race number (optional) at the swim start area.  Listen for those enthusiastic people calling out for body marking and head on over to get it done. Your race number will be marked on your left arm.

Timing Chips will be available for pickup at the swim venue. 

You have two bike numbers. The small one is for the front of your helmet.  The larger rectangular one is for your bike. 

You must attach the bike number provided in your race packet to your bike. The bike numbers have adhesive on the back that will not harm the paint on your bike frame. Failure to securely attach the number will result in a USAT time penalty. 

You DO NOT need to wear your bib number during the swim or bike. However, it MUST be worn during the run, facing forward (not sidways, not backward). Safety pins will be provided at packet pickup.

RELAY TEAMS

*Your entire team must be present together before your packet will be issued.

Relay teams will be issued a single timing chip, bike number, and run bib number. The chip hand-off takes place inside the transition area at the assigned bike rack. You must attach the bike number provided in your race packet to your bike. It has an adhesive backing that will not cause damage to your bike frame. Failure to secure the bike number will result in a USAT time penalty. You DO NOT need to wear the bib number during the bike. However, it MUST be worn during the run.

TRANSITION AREA

Transition Area opens at 6:30am.  Entrance into the Stillwater lakes area closes at 8am for spectators and athletes. 

You will have your very own space in the transition area. Look for your race number. This is where you will rack your bike and place your race gear. Place your gear to the left of your bike, under your bike. 

Rack your bike by placing the nose of your seat on the bike rack so your front tire is sticking out. Please remember, your neighbor needs room too, so please only bring what is needed into the transition area.

Remember there is no bike riding inside the transition area before or during the event. Doing so will result in a time penalty enforced by the USA Triathlon officials. 

ALSO please help us by letting your family and friends know that they must wait outside the transition area. Thanks for helping us with this!

NUTRITION AND AID STATIONS

There are aid stations located approximately at every mile on the run course. There are no aid stations on the sprint or intermediate bike course.  There are two aid stations for the half distance bike course.   The run will have aid stations at each miles with water and electrolyte replacement, gels, and coke on the course. 

TIMING

All participants will be timed and will be provided with their swim, bike and run splits, as well as their overall finish time. 

Instructions for chip use will be provided in your race packet, however you will not receive your chip until race morning.
