Bike: 21 mi. , 42 mi. and 63mi. 1,2, and 3 laps depending on what course you chose. Perfect for those getting ready for those late season full and half IM events. This is a predominantly flat course, there are few small rollers on the west side of the course but it is super smooth and super fast. This time of year there will be very little traffic on the roads. You will be making a loop around the south part of the lake taking the causeway across it at two spots, it really is a special course. This is a great way to end your year, not quite ready for the half distance this is perfect for you. Long course athletes will simply do two laps of the course continuing past the transition area turn for lap 2. There will be one aid station for you at this point. Water, Hammer Heed, and Hammer Gel will be available at this spot. See part of the bike course on You Tube, enter Last Chance Bike course on search at www.youtube.com


*Remember this is an open course! You will be sharing the road with vehicular traffic. Use caution at all times. It will be your responsibility to print maps, and know the courses.  It is the athlete's responsibility to know and understand the courses.  Helmets are a must.  No helmet - no race.  MP3 players on the bike course are an automatic disqualification.  Due to a few athletes actions in the past during an event we are making you aware not only in this event but ALL events whether hosted by us or any other event management company YOU MUST OBEY ALL OFFICIALS and EMERGENCY VEHICLES on the course AT ALL TIMES!!  The bottom line here is your race is not more important than an EMERGENCY or OFFICIAL on the course.  In the event of an emergency you MUST obey officials requests, and you MUST STOP and pull off the road for any and all EMERGENCY VEHICLES to get by.  This is not only to ensure the emergency vehicles can proceed, it is for your safety as well.  Any athlete that does not adhere to this rule will be disqualified and will not race in a 3 d event for the rest of the year.  This to us is common sense and should not have ever came to this point. 

Run: 5k. 10k, 13.1mi.-Exiting the transition area you will follow a chute taking you directly on the paved path around the lake. This is an out and back run course which you will follow winding you around the lake through adjacent picnic areas and campgrounds. An excellent run through the woods with a slight roll to it. Water and eletrolyte replacement at each mile on the course. You will simply turnaround at your designated turnaround sign.
