Swim
Your 1.2-mile swim will take place in the downriver current of the Willamette River. Enter the water from Minto Brown Island Park and use the current to your advantage as it carries you down the river from point to point. Keep an eye on the buoy lines to guide you to Riverfront Park to finish this course.

Bike
Once out of the water, you will take on your 56-mile bike course through the suburbs and down country roads following alongside the Willamette River. This out and back course is fast and flat through the valley, with a few rolling hills and curves.

Run
Start and end this out and back course at Riverfront Park. This relatively flat run will take you through a nature preserve and along the Willamette River. You can expect spots of both shade and sun throughout 13.1 miles before crossing the finish line.
