• Description: The Olympic distance triathlon consist of a 1.5 K swim, 40 K bike and a 10 K run. The swim will take place in Lake Michigan going parallel with the shoreline in approximately 6 to 10 feet deep water. Water temperatures can fluctuate from 58 to 74 degrees, so wetsuits will be allowed. Once exiting the water, you have just under a ½ mile run on the scenic boardwalk to the transition area at the Tri – Cities YMCA.
  
  The bike course is an out and back route taking you along the river and along the Lake Michigan beach. After which, you will be routed out to Lakeshore Drive which is very scenic and was freshly paved 3 years ago. The course has a few rolling hills but no major climbs. It has been considered relatively fast.
  
  The run course will exit the YMCA parking lot and immediately be taken to the boardwalk. While running on the boardwalk, the route will take you past waterfront shops, waterfront stadium and the city marina. You will be cheered on by volunteers and spectators alike.
