There will be 3 big corner buoys on the swim course. There will be smaller buoys between these big buoys to help keep you on course. Athletes will keep all buoys to their right. Because of the early morning start we will have lights attached to the buoys for sighting purposes and because how can you swim towards something you can’t see? After the completion of the loop, athletes will exit the water and head to T1.
The swim starts at 7:45 am at Hailstone Main Park at Jordanelle Reservoir. Athletes will be required to leave T1 for the swim by 7:30 am. Support crews and spectators are welcome at the swim. Parking is limited and is on a first come first serve basis. Also, there will be no road parking in the park, all cars need to park in a parking stall.
We will have rescue boats and kayaks during the swim. These boats will contain a mix of medic personnel and lifeguards along with rescue equipment to aid swimmers in need.
There will be absolutely no support from the base of Guardsman climb to T2. We are not responsible for and cannot predict traffic conditions that may hinder you from reaching your athlete. It is your responsibility to get to transition before your athlete. As an athlete, plan on an hour and a half for this stretch of the ride. If you are found giving your athlete support between the base of Guardsman climb to T2, your athlete will be disqualified.
Since support cars are not allowed after mile 12, we will provide 2 vans on this section of the race. These vans will patrol from mile 12 to mile 20. These vans will be stocked with water, some nutrition and bike supplies.
Only the registered support crew member is allowed into T2 with a wristband. This crew member can be inside T2 waiting for their athlete to arrive. Once the athlete arrives, it is the crew member’s job to help their athlete get ready for the run. Once the athlete is ready for the run, it becomes the crew member’s job to cleanup all of their athlete’s equipment. This includes all clothing, gear and bike itself. The crew member will need to take all their athlete’s equipment out of T2.
This is a completely open bike course without any law enforcement. All athletes are to obey traffic laws and rules of the roadways at all times. This includes arm signals when turning and stopping when required to do so by signs and signals. You must have your front and rear lights on, and a cell phone with you at all times. Additionally, there is no littering.
This can be a long day for the support crew, so we would like to try and take a little of the planning and worrying about car fuel and fuel for yourself out of the equation. You can find gas and fuel for yourself before getting to Brighton is in Park City. This is when you are off the course and making your way to T2. You will find many gas stations and food options while driving through here. Remember once you get up to the finish, Brighton Resort, there are no more gas stations or grocery stores. Brighton will be offering food from their facility.
the run course will take place on the trails around Brighton Resort. The course will be a one loop course. The course will be marked with color flags.
The course starts at the bottom of Milly Express chair lift and follows the service road up to Twin Lakes Reservoir. At the top of this road the Half Distance athletes will split off to the left. Just after the split off, the course jumps on a trail that will take athletes next to Lake Mary. Half Distance athletes will take a left and follow the trail till you reach the trail head to go up to Clayton Peak. Head up this trail. At the top, Clayton Peak, the course meets up with Western Trail. Here you will turn left and heads toward the Great Western Express chair lift. Just before the last climb up to the Great Western Express chair lift the course turns left down Elk Park ski run. The course follows Elk Park ski run and then jumps onto the Golden Needle ski run. The course will go by the Snake Creek Express chair lift and run down Snake Creek Rd (service road). Once at the bottom of the trail the course turns left and follows a trail next to the parking lot. The trail comes out at the bottom of Milly Express chair lift where you will see the finish line.
