RACE & COURSE INFORMATION

Race Date: Saturday, July 31, 2010, 7:30 AM start

Location: Sailboat Cove Park on Smithville Lake, in Smithville, Missouri.

Distances: 500 meter swim, 10 mile bike, 5K run

Course: The swim will again be in the water to the south of Sailboat Cove on Smithville Lake. The transition area will be on a paved parking lot near the beach. The bike course is a mostly flat, out-and-back on Highways W and J. The run is on the paved trails to the southeast of the transition area. Course Maps

Aid Stations: There will be three aid stations along the course.  One just outside of the transition area and two along the run course. Water and an electrolyte drink mix (details on drink mix TBA) will be provided at each aid station.

Age groups: While you will be racing in a time trial fashion, for the purposes of timing, you will be placed in the standard USAT age groups, with a few alterations for youth. 12-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70+. Note: We will be following the USAT age-up rule: your age group placement will be based on your age as of December 31, 2010. 

Swim Start: You will NOT be asked to enter a swim time during registration like in previous years. The swim start WILL be the same this year in that it is a time trial start where one woman enters the water every five seconds.  Instead of taking swim times during registration and assigning you where to start, there will be minute-marker signs on race morning (starting at 6 minutes and going up) and you will place yourself in line according to your swim time where you feel most comfortable.
