COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Swim 500m........COURSE MAP
The swim course will take place in the FootHills Pool (24st &
University Dr) (25m). We will start 4 athletes per lane and you will
complete 20 lengths of the pool. Volunteers will be on hand to count
your laps and will put a flutterboard in the water when you have 2
lengths remaining. You will be assigned a wave # and start time which
will be posted on the website & package pick-up locations, as well
as posted at the race start. Athletes are asked that if they are
feeling any trouble or difficulty during the swim portion to either
raise their hand and a lifeguard will be there to assist you within
seconds. We would like to thank the staff at the FootHills Pool for
their support of this event.
The Bike 16Km........COURSE MAP
The bike course will travel around the 4km loop
within the University campus. We will have a portion of the road
blocked off for this event, however please ensure that you watch for
vehicle traffic and other athletes. This is a fun race, and we don't
want anyone injured along the course.
Please keep in mind that the course will be open to vehicle traffic,
and you are to treat this event as any other training ride and be very
road wise while on the course. Vehicles will always have the right of
way at intersections, and we will have volunteers to stop traffic when
athletes are approaching, but remember you are responsible for your own
safety while out on the course, and accidents can happen.
So please remember to look around you while on the course to foresee
any unfortunate incidents that can occur. Remember to have fun on the
course, and keep safety at the utmost priority.
| The Merrell Run 3KM | ........COURSE MAP |  |
The run course will travel from the transition area and consist of 3
full laps of the 1km course where an aid station will be located to
replenish your fluids. You will be responsible to count your own laps
on this run course, as we will not provide lap counters. There will be
an aid station outside of the transition area with Gatorade, and water,
as well as another aid station stocked similarly (so please come
prepared if you are training on a different sports drink/food). Please
be sure you drink lots of fluids on the bike course, as well as take
advantage of the two aid stations on the run course for each lap. The
weather can be unpredictable so please dress appropriately.
