West Union Triathlon

Saturday, June 26, 2010 from 6:00 - 8:00 PM

Race morning from 6:30-7:30 AM, with Pre-race meeting to follow.

The race begins at 8:00 AM with a 3-mile run, which starts at the Aquatic Center and winds around the North Fayette Cross-Country course. It incorporates the beautiful West Union Recreational Area fields and trails into the course and brings you back to the transition area located in the Aquatic Center parking lot.

After the run, you will either get on your bike or touch the next member of your team at the relay station. The 16-mile, challenging, bike ride will take you on county blacktop and concrete roads north of West Union and loop you back to the Aquatic Center.

There, you will either enter the pool, or touch the next member of your team at the relay station. The swim consists of 8 lengths of the pool, approximately 200 yards.

THEN...

Shower, Eat, Drink, Relax and Stay for the Awards Ceremony.
