Swim Course
The swim takes place in the brackish waters of the Choptank River. Swim start and finish are at Gerry Boyle Park where athletes will enter the water via the boat ramp and swim a clockwise rectangle to the exit at the small beach. The river has a tidal current and this year athletes will be swimming with the current on the outbound leg and against the tidal current on the inbound leg.

Bike Course
The one-loop bike course has only 330 ft of elevation gain so athletes can expect a truly flat ride. Once out of town, the course winds through country roads and the beautiful Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. While there are no hills to contend with, the winds blowing across open fields and marshland can be just as challenging.

Run Course
The course is a 2x out-and-back along the Choptank River and through the quiet residential streets of Cambridge. With ample spots for spectators along the way, this course allows family and friends to see their athlete multiple times. Just as flat as the bike course, athletes will experience only 130 ft of elevation gain.
