There will be more than 20 wave starts at 5 minute intervals beginning with Collegiate Men, Collegiate Women, Age Group Men, Team In Training Men, Age Group Women, Team In Training Women and Relay Teams. Swimmers will swim in a clockwise direction on the triangular course.

The swimmers will exit the water, go through the timing area, up the ramp and into the transition area.

Triathletes will return to the park on the same roads. As they re-enter the park, riders turn left and head down Lynch Hill and back to the transition area.
Run Course
The 10k (6.2 mile) run course is a combination of road and trails through campgrounds and challenging hills. The run portion of the course will be marked by Small Green Diamonds.

Turn left on the trail below the resort store lawn
Cross the bridge and proceed down the beach access road through "Beach City"
At the base of "Beach Hill," continue straight off of the road and on to the trails along the shoreline (no beach hill this time).
