Swim
The Swim begins with a wave start from a gradual-wide sandy beach on Lake Bertram. The lake does not allow motorized boats allowing for a cleaner swimming experience. The water is warm mid-summer and wetsuits are not required. The triangular swim course is staffed with multiple lifeguards along the course.
Bike

The Bike course is a mix of beginner and intermediate dirt (no rocks) single-track with some grassy double-track with rolling ascents and descents. Any type of mountain bike, including fat tire bikes and gravel bikes are allowed.
The Mountain Bike Only course is 10.5 miles of single-track with a few short sections of double-track. It is more technical with a slightly higher degree of difficulty than the triathlon bike course.
