Swim
The triathlon kicks off at 9 am in the RFC’s 8-lane pool. Olympic distance participants will start first, with Sprint competitors following afterward. Wetsuits are allowed, and swimmers will be paired with those of similar ability to ensure a smooth and fair start. With 22 laps (Olympic) or 9 laps (Sprint) ahead, it’s time to make a splash!
Bike
After drying off, hit the roads on an out-and-back course along Highways 59 and 10. Sprint competitors will take on a 12-mile ride, while Olympic racers will push through 19 miles. Safety is key—helmets are required for all riders. This Minnesota cycling route offers smooth roads and scenic countryside, making it a favorite among local and visiting triathletes.
Run
The final leg takes you through Pomme de Terre Park and the West Central Research and Outreach Center. Olympic racers will challenge themselves with a 10K course, while Sprint competitors will take on a 5K loop up the Highway hill. Both races finish triumphantly in the RFC lower lot.
