Sprint Swim Course

800 METERS / 875 YARDS / 0.5 MILES

The clockwise swim will start on the beach just north of the boat docks at Bloedel Donovan Park. Keep ALL the buoys on your right side. Once you reach the first turn buoy (~300m) you will keep the buoy on your right as you swim around. After making this first hard right you will swim away from the shoreline towards the buoy that is in the middle of the lake (~200m). You’ll make a standard right hand turn around the buoy in the middle of the lake and swim back towards the boat launch (~300m). You will exit the water on the sand near the boat launch. Then it's a short run from the Swim Exit into transition (new in the parking lot this year).


Sprint Bike Course

26.5 KILOMETERS / 16.4 MILES

Turn right out of Bloedel Donovan Park onto Electric Ave. Then follow a scenic route that takes you along the north side of Lake Whatcom to the turnaround at the end of North Shore Road, located half a mile from the North Lake Whatcom Trailhead. On the return, continue back along North Shore Road and follow this back to Electric Ave. and the transition area at Bloedel Donovan Park.


Sprint Run Course

6.4 KILOMETERS / 4.0 MILES

This 6.4km route is mainly crushed gravel surface with a few very short sections on cement. You will head out of transition at Bloedel Donovan Park across the parking lot and right onto a gravel trail which will take athletes on a loop around forested trails in beautiful Whatcom Falls Park, passing by the waterfalls and including a fun but challenging dash up a set of stairs. YES, THERE ARE STAIRS! Enjoy a flat and fast approach on the homestretch to the Race Finish at Bloedel.
