The Try-a-Tri Triathlon
The Swim - 500 meters
Grab your swim cap and your goggles and head down to the swim start either on foot, or by train (you have to take it for the full experience!).
Once you get to the swim start, you can take your footwear off (if you have any) and put it in your swim start bag that has your number on it and chuck it into the back of the race vehicle. Wait for the race announcer to call your wave into the water, and then line up behind the start buoys anywhere across the whole width of the river.
Then, without hesitation, when the horn goes off, it is a 500m straight shot swim down the river to the swim exit. only buoy you have to navigate around is make sure you go to the right of the last buoy before the exit. Climb the stairs, and then walk/jog/run to the transition zone.

The Bike - 10 kilometers
After you get yourself organized, and you have your helmet clipped up, you can take your bike off the rack and make your way over to the “Mount Line”.
Cross this line and then put the fun between your legs and follow the marked course out for 5km where a friendly police officer and volunteer will instruct you to go around the pylon and head on back.
Make sure you stop and get off your bike before the “Mount Line” and then take your bike back to your spot in the transition zone. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

And a little hint…bike on your trainer while watching it!
The Run - 2.5 kilometers
Take your helmet off and put on your running shoes so you are ready to head out on the beautiful, and only a little bit challenging, run course.
The run is a single loop 2.5km run that goes down a rolling road, up a beautiful forested trail, through magestic rock cuts, and then down a hill to the finish line.
At the finish line, your family, friends, and fellow participants await you to relish in your accomplishments, savour some chef prepared food, and share some smiles and memories.
