 ADDITIONAL INFO ABOUT THE RACE:

• SWIM: 800 Meters. The average water temperature is 82˚F. The swim will be marked with buoys and athletes will swim in a clock-wise direction, with the buoys on their right. DNCR life guards will be stationed at intervals along the swim in kayaks. For safety reasons, racers MUST pass through the head count chute before the start of the race and after the completion of the swim.
• MOUNTAIN BIKE: 13 miles. The mountain bike course is a combination of fire roads, single track trail, and some park roads. Terrain is rolling and typical of western Pennsylvania. There is some challenging single track, a creek crossing, and some daring lung-busting climbs and bombing down hills. Technical difficulty is about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The bike course will be marked with the BLUE XTERRA arrows.
• TRAIL RUN: 4 miles. The trail run is almost entirely on single track trails, some of which are very technical. A good portion of the trail run will follow the Ridge Top Trail, located to the south of the beach parking areas. Terrain is rolling and typical of western Pennsylvania. The run course will be marked with the RED XTERRA arrows.
• OTHER INFO: The START/TRANSITION/FINISH area is located at the Lake Tahoe Lodge on top of the mountain at Seven Springs Resort. There will be an aid station located here with water and Gatorade. Gatorade will provide product, including bike bottles full of Gatorade for the bike course. Additionally, there is plenty of parking, hot showers, a food concession, picnic tables, the beach, play grounds for small children, boat rentals, and pretty much anything that you could need for a day of family fun.
• PRIZES: All registered competitors are eligible to win over $3,000 in prizes, including a new mountain bike sponsored by Trailz End Multisport.
