Swim: (Sprint: 750 meters, Olympic 1.5km)

Wave starts will begin each race, starting between the pair of yellow start buoys (wave starts approximately 5-7 minutes apart). 3 large orange swim buoys will be placed in a 750 meter triangle-shaped pattern. Sprint will make one loop, Olympic two. For Olympic (depending on water depth), you will exit the water, go around the indicated marker at the shoreline, and re-enter the water for your second loop.

Water temperature is expected to be in the low 60’s. Wetsuits are strongly recommended. Contact Salt Lake Running & Multisport for wetsuit rentals. After finishing the swim you will have a 200 yard run to transition area and will not return to the water area for the remainder of the event. A shoe zone will be available. It is strongly recommended to have an extra pair of shoes for this run.

Parking

The parking area for all athletes and spectators is located at the school just 3 blocks from Hyrum State Park. There is plenty of free parking. Do not block drive ways and make sure to leave a 3 foot radius around fire hydrants. Please remember you are a guest and be respectful of the local community.

There will be absolutely NO parking or drop-off inside the State Park for triathlon participants or spectators, as the parking area cannot accommodate the large number of people who will be attending the event. If you have an elderly or ADA family member who is unable to walk the 3 blocks to the event, the park will allow you to drop them off at the entrance to the park. Please see the park ranger at the fee entrance for instructions.
