The 200 yard swim course for the Super Sprint Triathlon will be marked with large buoys and monitored by our TBF Water Safety team in kayaks.
Bike
The 20 mile bike course for the Luna Triathlon and Duathlon is an out-and-back course from Rancho Seco Park on Twin Cities Road. The course will be patrolled by CHP and will allow passing. You will exit the transition area and then mount your bike. From there you will exit the park and make a right hand turn on Hwy 104, making a U-turn at the turn around point and returning to the park. Please be careful while on the road. Riders must stay to the right at all times! Riders must not draft other riders: You must maintain at least THREE bike lengths at all times behind the rider in front of you, and you MUST ride single file while on the Highway. Passing is allowed in a timely manner when it is safe to do so. After passing return to the right side of the road and continue to ride safely. Failure to do so will result in a drafting penalty or disqualification. Crossing the centerline at ANY time will also result in disqualification. Proceed to the turn around on Hwy 104 and return to the park. Traffic has the right-of-way on the road so ride CAREFULLY.
The 4 mile bike course for the Super Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon will be a four-mile course on the roads inside the park at Rancho Seco. The course will be closed to traffic and monitored for safety.
Run
The 4-mile and the 1-mile run courses exit from the transition area and runs around part of the lake on dirt trails.
