Designed by Jarrod Shoemaker and Tim Crowley, the course will offer an exciting feel of an international competition with many good looks for athletes to see their competition. Spectators will have plenty of areas to cheer on their family and friends as the is set up as a loop course.

The 150-year old Fort Meadows Reservoir (it's really a lake) is located on the central border of Marlborough and Hudson will offer an ideal swim venue. Racers will swim 1/3 miles in water 8-16 feet deep. The water temperature will average in the mid to high 70s. Wetsuits are not required. The T1 (swim to bike) transition area is located on the Causeway. Swimmers will find their bike and exit the transition area heading north.

Please note that in the event of poor swim conditions, the race director reserves the right to shorten, alter or eliminate the swim course.

The clockwise 5 mile bike loop course is comprised of a combination of flat and rolling roads with a gradual climb toward the end of the loop. Racers will complete the loop three times.

When leaving the transition area, racers will ride north over the Fort Meadows Causeway towards Hudson. At approximately the second mile, racers will make a sharp turn onto Causeway Street. The course then follows Causeway Street for 1 mile then makes a right on Hosmer and then right again onto Stevens Street. Racers will be directed through a sectioned off corridor through the High School grounds and back onto the loop course to complete three full loops.

Please note that there are some parts of the course that will not be closed to traffic. Athletes must stay to the far right at all times, unless passing another cyclist. Drafting is not permitted and will be enforced. Pass only on the left; do not pass any cyclist on their right.

The T2 (bike to run) transition area is located on the High School grounds. Racers will leave their bikes at an assigned area and head out on the run course.

We expect this to be an exciting 2 loop run course! Spectators will be able to see cheer on their racers two times during this final leg. At T2, racers will leave T2 on the High School grounds at head to Stevens Street. The course follows Stevens to Union Street. Racers will make a right into the Middle School entrance and follow it to Route 83 and then head back into the High School grounds. Each loop is 1.65 miles in length making the final leg a 3.3 mile run in total.
