All of the swim courses will take place from Chickahominy Riverfront Park.  The swim courses will be reversible depending on the conditions.  Our goal will be to make it safer and more favorable for you.  Water temperatures are likely to be in the high 70’s to low 80’s and likely wetsuits will not be allowed (at least to be considered for awards).  Each race will have a time trial start where 2-3 athletes will start approx. every 5 seconds.  Each athlete is expected to self-seed from fastest to slowest in order to have the cleanest swim.

All of the bike courses will start and end at the transition area located at Chickahominy Riverfront Park. Roads will be open to traffic so athletes should be aware of their surroundings at all times. The courses will have a little bit of everything (rollers, flats, long stretches, a few hills) however they should be relatively fast. In addition you have some great scenery and you won’t be bored. For the HalfREV, there is a railroad crossing we cannot avoid.  This railway is serviced by Amtrak, Commercial rail, and military rail (schedules not published).  There will be a timing point on either side of the tracks and everyone’s time will be subtracted between these two points so whether you get stopped by the train or not there will be no time disadvantage if you get stopped.

The run course will take place on the Virginia Capital Trail.  This is a paved multi-use trail which is mostly shaded.  This will be an out/back run.  The HalfREV will go out/back 2x.

Bike Course: Olympic

Bike Course: Half
