Parents, please note that you can check in one hour prior to your kids start time.

Start:

See the schedule for the start times. We operate the event so that ALL participants are off, complete, with their bike stage prior to starting the next age group. There is a lead and sweep for each age groups bike stage. This helps with the event operations and safety. Therefore, there maybe some delay for the posted start times.

Swim:

The swim courses are near shore. Younger ages can stand if needed. Corners are marked by large buoys and water safety staff are positioned along the way. The average water temperature of Donner Lake in July is 69 degrees.

Bike:

The bike courses take place on South Shore Drive and are paved. Each distance course has a designated turn-around location. Riders stay on the right side of the road.

Run:

The run courses are on surface streets and are out and back, turnarounds are clearly marked and staffed.

Mount/Dismount Area:

There is a designated spot where riders can mount and then dismount their bikes on the way in and out of the transition area. This is a safety measure to control speed.
