Swim Course
Enjoy the clear waters and amazing sunrise over Kempenfelt Bay
Water temperatures tend to be in the 20-23C (68F to 74F) range, so wetsuits will very likely be optional for this event.
Bike Course
All routes feature FULLY CLOSED roads along the Barrie Waterfront. The routes are Fast and Flat with wide turn-arounds at each end. This is also a favourite with spectators as they are always close to the action!
Run Course
Heads along the Waterfront Paths towards the Southshore Centre and Military Heritage Park.
