Great first timer triathlon or an awesome way to kick off your 2019 triathlon season. Time trial start for the swim means you go in one at a time – no getting kicked in the face! Nice short bike course followed by a run within the park on paved trails. Aqua bike option features same swim and bike but skips the run. Barbecue follows the race.
