Exit transition Westbound on Chaparral Drive. Follow Chaparral Dr SE around to 194th Ave. Turn Left (East) on 194th and follow to the bottom of the hill next to Chaparral Valley. Continue east and then turn right into the new community of Wolf Willow. Follow the loop through the community and return the way you came – up that nice hill!
Turn Right on Chaparral Blvd and follow straight until you get back to Chaparral Drive.
Left Turn to begin the next lap or to finish!
Please keep in mind that the course will be open to vehicle traffic, and you are to treat this event as any other training ride and be very road wise while on the course. We will have volunteers as well as City of Calgary Police to stop traffic when athletes are approaching, but remember you are responsible for your own safety while out on the course.
No IPODS/MP3 Players allowed. IPOD/MP3 Player = Automatic disqualification !!

STANDARD AND SPRINT DISTANCE.
The concept is simple: 1 person swims, 1 person bikes and 1 person runs. The ‘baton’ (timing chip) is passed between each team member in transition. Teams are a great way to take on a triathlon with friends or family. Same sex, or mixed, race in one category.
750M, 1500M, 3000M
NOTE: the course will be swum in a clockwise direction.
