SWIM

The 750 meter swim will be a loop course in Aurora Reservoir. The water temperature in the reservoir will be between 63 - 73 degrees F. The water is exceptionally pure and is used as one of the drinking water supplies for the City of Aurora.

BIKE

The 10 mile bike course is a rolling paved route which goes through the Aurora Reservoir. The course begins with an exit from the transition area (located in the Boat Launch parking lot) with athletes turning left and proceeding on South Powhaton Road (the main Reservoir access road) towards Quincy Avenue. At East Dam Road, participants will turn right and do a short out and back on East Dam Road, then return to Robertsdale Way (which is closed until race day – no-pre-riding available). Turning right onto Robertsdale Way, participants will proceed to Quincy Avenue. Participants will then turn right (or east) on Quincy Avenue and continue for approximately ½ mile, to a left turn onto the road leading to the Ridgeview Academy Correctional Facility for a 2.6 mile out and back. Participants will then return on the same roads back to the Reservoir – Quincy Avenue to Robertsdale Way to South Powhaton Road – back to the transition area located in the Boat Launch parking lot.

RUN

The 5k Run course will be conducted on paths entirely within the Aurora Reservoir complex and will be a combination of cement, dirt and asphalt surfaces. It will have some rolling hills but very little elevation gain and loss.
