Getting To The Race

Transition is located at 4601–4699 W South Jordan Pkwy, on the north side of Oquirrh Lake. You will see a large gated construction area. Gates should be open for drop off access. 

​

Parking Info

Due to construction, the area north of transition is fenced. Enter through the fence just before Harmons. You can park on the the streets  anywhere around the venue. Please do not park on the west side of the lake as that is part of the bike course. There is plenty of parking at the LDS church at 4842 W Vermillion Drive. 

 

Transition

The transition will open at 5:30 AM. You will have an assigned spot based on your bib number so no need to show up early for a spot. You must have your wristband on and your bike labeled with your race number in order to enter transition in the morning and exit transition after the race. All race items must be located under your bike at the rack. Do not store any items along the fencing or at the end of the racks. These items will be removed.

SWIM START INFORMATION
Individual Time Trial Start

All athletes should be ready to go at 7:15 am. The Olympic and Sprint race start at 7:15.

Athletes will line up for the swim based on their estimated finish time. Elite racers will go first (there isn't an official Elite wave).  Physically Challenged athletes will go next. Then athletes will enter the water, fastest swimmers first until all athletes are in the water.  Each racer will have an individual start time. So be ready! We get all the athletes in the water pretty quickly.

Warm up? You are welcome to get in the water prior to the start to warm up.

The Sprint race starts at a fishing dock. Racers will hold on to the dock until they are told to start. Again, this goes pretty fast so be ready.

The Olympic swim starts at East Lake Beach and is a beach start.

​

Bike Course Info

 

The bike course begins as athletes exit in the SW corner of the transition area onto the cobblestone pathway, heading towards Lake Ave.  Athletes will be required to run alongside their bikes on the pathway until they reach the mounting zone on Lake Ave. Riders will continue along Lake Ave as the road follows the perimeter of the lake, with the road eventually turning and heading West towards Mountain View Corridor.  As athletes head West, they will cross train tracks at Grandville Ave. Athletes MUST stop at this intersection if the train is coming. There will be an official directing athletes. (The train departs from the nearest trax station approximately every 20 minutes and takes less than 5 seconds to clear the intersection).  Any athlete that crosses through the intersection after being directed to stop, will be disqualified from the race. Traffic officers will be assisting at this intersection.

 

After crossing the train tracks, athletes will continue heading West through Mountain View Corridor and eventually making a left turn at Prosperity Road.  Athletes will head South on Prosperity Road and turn right on 11800 nS. Athletes will follow 11800 S until it reacheBaccus Highway and then take a left. At the Visitor entrance to Rio Tinto mine, athletes will make a U turn and head back to 11800 S. Follow 11800 south and take a left on Mustang Trail Way/Kitty Hawk Rd. Sprint athletes will then take a right on Lake Ave and head back to transition. Olympic Athletes will take a left on Lake Ave and do a second loop before taking a right on Lake Ave back to transition.

There will be an aid station just outside of transition and Water & Carbo Rocket at mile 11.5.

 

Run Course Info

 

The run course will begin at the transition area and follow the paved trails around Oquirrh Lake. The 3.1 mile loop will be completed once by Sprint-distance racers and twice by Olympic-distance athletes. The run course is flat and smooth and should make for a fast race to the finish. With good sight lines, racers will be able to see the competition and challenge each other to the finish.  The run course will be marked with Yellow arrows.

 

There will be an aid station at the stat and at Mile 1.5, 3.1, 4.5 with water, Carbo Rocket and candy.
