From transition, you will exit transition towards the swim chute. A left turn onto the paved trail and follow it past First Beach to the turnaround point at the Inukshuk. Return the same way but just past First Beach you will follow the trail right, to the upper trail back towards the transition area. If you are lapping, follow the course back down the hill to the left, finishers stay right to the finish line!
Aid stations (with water and F2C) will be available at the exit of transition and at the Inukshuk turnaround point.

The area where everything takes place and in competitive events, the place where a race can be won or lost! In our event, usually a crazy spot as many people don’t know where to find their equipment during the event.
Please place your bike and equipment and then look around to ‘site’ your location—what are you next to, what does your towel look like, what rack are you in, etc. When set up, leave transition and walk towards your bike when coming from the swim.
*NOTE: Transition will remain open once the race starts, but please stay next to your bike to avoid collisions with athletes that are currently racing.
**NOTE: Please have only what you will be racing with placed by your bike. No large bags, buckets or bins are allowed next to your bike.
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.
