Congratulations on being selected as one of the ten USA Triathlon Duathlon Series events for 2013. Not only will this help to position you as one of the most prominent races in the region and the U.S., it is our goal that the level of marketing support that we will extend to your race will allow the race to hit record highs for participation.

The concept of the Series is to help expand the base of participation. Although there will be Series champions crowned based on the athlete's top two performances, it is not the most critical focus. If we find the Series helps grow the event for you, we will consider this as a model for other event disciplines. If it becomes a tool for you in your marketing, we will note that to the regions to perhaps do a similar build after this first year. We consider this a true partnership with you in that we both have expectations and duties to see its success.

Race Description

The race will take place at Thomas Brooks Park off Green Level Church Road which is also home to USA Baseball.

The long course run will be 2.5 miles out and back completed twice with small rolling hills through the park and local communities.  The second segment of the run will mirror the first run with aid stations right outside the transition area and at the 2nd run turnaround.  The short course will be out and back 2.5 miles. 

The bike course will ride along many familiar roads to local cyclists including a favorite “Big Woods Road”.  The ride will feature fast, flat, rolling and climbing sections and multiple views of Lake Jordan.  The short course bike will take a right turn at Farrington Road and then a another right on Martha's Chapel Road on the original long course. 

The race course revolves around a transition area located within Thomas Brooks Park . The same transition area will be used for all phases. The transition area will open at 7am; ALL bikes need to be placed in position before the transition area closes at 8:45am.
