Swim – 750m and 400m Narrow Triangle Swim – like Wasaga

The swim will take place off the beach in front of De La Salle Park. The course will begin about 10-20m off shore at a point where the water is thigh-deep. The swim courses will be triangular with the first leg of the swim covering the angled side of the course. Swim buoys will be kept to the left as you swim. Turn buoys will be the large 60″ Lime Green Tetrahedrons and intermediate markers will be the smaller Orange buoys. The run-out travels straight up the beach, crosses under Lake Drive using the pedestrian tunnel before reaching the Transition Area. Water temperature is, on average, between 68F and 76F.

Bike

The bike course will use flat to gentle rolling roads south of De La Salle Park.

Run

The run course will follow and out-&-back route on Lake Dr. which runs along the shores of Lake Simcoe. The course is flat with Aid Stations every 1.25km.

Race Site

De La Salle Park offers plenty of parking which is accessed from Metro Rd N at the south end of the park. The Transition Area, Registration and the Finish Line will all be at the North end of the park closer to the beach. The Transition Area will be on grass in the northwest corner of the park, Registration will be hosted indoors in the large hall in the centre of the park and the Finish Line will be in the parking lot at the northeast corner of the park.
