The Bike
(Sprint*: 20 kilometers/13.3 miles)
(SuperSprint: 10 kilometers/6.6 miles)

The SuperSprint Bike Course takes place on paved roadways and the surface is in good condition. Bike lanes are marked with cones, signage and there will be course marshals to guide athletes throughout the course.

After leaving the Bike Out, cyclists turn right onto Mission Bay Parkway. (BE CAREFUL – Cyclists beginning their second lap are coming from the left to merge with bikes exiting the TA after a 50-meter divided merge lane). Cyclists make a 360 degree turn around a traffic island and proceed to SEA WORLD DRIVE. Left on SEA WORLD DRIVE, MILE, left onto EAST MISSION BAY DRIVE, then left again onto FIESTA ISLAND DRIVE. Stay right and make a complete loop of FIESTA ISLAND. Cyclists exit the island and retrace their path back to the Transition. Short distance cyclists re-enter the TA. The short distance course is 6.6 miles long.

LONG COURSE –Long distance (Sprint) cyclists must do a complete lap of this course and then proceed past the Transition Area and merge with cyclists leaving the Transition Area. Complete a second lap and then re-enter the Transition Area. The long distance course is 13.3 miles.

The Run
(Sprint: 5 kilometers/3 miles)
(SuperSprint: 2.5 kilometers/1.58 miles)

Runners leave the Transition Area at the SW corner, get onto the sidewalk and stay on the left on the run course. Inbound and outbound runners share the sidewalk for 1/3 mile where the outbound runners bear left around the Gazebo. The next 1/3 of a mile is on well-packed dirt (watch for the narrow path between two boulders at .7 mile), which goes up a small rocky slope and north onto the sidewalk at East Mission Bay Dr. The TURN-AROUND is just before Fiesta Island Dr. at .8 of a mile. Runners then go south on the sidewalk and then right onto the bike trail. The one-mile sign is 200 meters after getting on the bike trail. Follow the bike trail back to the finish line, staying on the left. The Short course is exactly 1.58 miles long.

LONG COURSE – Follow the same course as the short course, but approximately 100 meters before the finish, look for the turn-around sign and TURN AROUND and do the course again. The Long course is exactly 3.0 miles long.

Note: The course is subject to change and distances are approximate. A final course description will be available at the mandatory course talk on Saturday, October 18th.
