Swim
Participants must keep the buoys on their right at all times. Sprint racers will swim straight south to the finish line. International racers will start near the swim exit, swim north then back south. Olympic racers will swim south, back north, then back south again to get 1500 meters. We cannot swim out further into the ocean as it is too shallow. There is a 500 meter long channel that we swim in, thus the course design.
Duathlon Run Start
Duathletes will complete a 3/4 mile run before heading out on the bike course. This will start at the Southeast corner of the field. Look for the Duathlon Start flags.
Bike
The cycling portion of the Triathlon will take athletes down and back along the Rickenbacker Causeway with amazing views of the Miami City Skyline from the top of the William Powell Bridge. This course is the favorite training ground of all local triathletes. All bike traffic will stay on the outbound lane of the causeway which will be closed to vehicular traffic. Vehicular traffic will be diverted to the inbound lane. Sprint racers will ride 1 lap on the bike. Intermediate racers will ride 2 laps. Olympic racers will ride 3 laps.
While we have closed these lanes to cars, NEVER LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! Cars may cross, recreational cyclists may get on the course, or another racer may swerve unexpectedly. Your safety is in your hands. Always be looking around even if it makes you a little less aerodynamic. There is no life changing prize money on the line.
Run
Sprint racers will enjoy a scenic 3.3 km run course with beautiful views of the beach. Intermediate racers will run 2 laps. Olympic racers will run 3 laps.
