SWIM: A LIFE JACKET WITH INHERENT BUOYANCY IS REQUIRED (NO PULL-TO-INFLATE)
- Starts at 9:00 am sharp, please be at the starting line at 8:45
- We will start in flights.
- Water shoes are recommended for entering and exiting the water and for running from the river to the bike corral.
- The start of the SWIM is located behind the Cougar Lane Store down on the shoreline at the gravel bar adjacent to where the Jerry's jet boats dock.
- The swim path begins with a short distance up river and around a buoy then you will swim with the downriver current. Almost immediately after rounding the buoy and heading downriver there is an exhilarating, but shallow rapid that is best completed by floating with feet forward on your back to avoid bumping any rocks. (It's a lot of fun!)
- Heading downriver there will be balloons floating above the shrubs at the swim takeout beyond the Agness RV docks that you will be able to see on the shore in advance to exiting the water.
- Volunteers will be at the water's edge to direct you up the path and down the "B" row toward the bike corral to transition for the RIDE.
RUN: FOR YOUR SAFETY there are defined EXIT & ENTER lanes from the Bike Corral.
- From the Bike Corral, RUN out the EXIT Lane, go up and out of the entrance to the RV Park turning to the left on Agness Road heading upriver running on the left side of the road facing traffic.
- SPRINT DISTANCE: You will cross over the Shasta Costa bridge and continue to the left following the river and down a short distance further to the hydration station turnaround (this will be the SECOND hydration station you pass while on the run) to run back on the left side of the road facing traffic on Agness Road turning LEFT into the RV park to the bike corral to grab your bike for the RIDE.
- MINI DISTANCE: You will turn around at the Aid Station at mile 1.5 (the FIRST hydration station you come to while running). You will then run back to the bike corral and grab your bike for the RIDE.
