The swim start is just south of the grandstands and will be an in-water start. The course is a counter-clockwise lap where swimmers will exit and run up the grandstands to the cheering crowd!
Bike – 20km
A fast and flat course that heads South towards Dain City, crosses the Welland Canal via the old Forks rd bridge, then heads out towards the scenic rural roads of the Wainfleet area riding along the old canal until reaching the turn around and returning towards the WIFC.
