About the Race
Classic New England setting: pristine lake, country roads, farm houses, village greens ... maybe even a few moose. The most scenic race in New England.
1.2 mile fresh water lake swim in pristine Newfound Lake, one of the cleanest lakes in the world. This will be a wave start. There will be lifeguard and boat support. Average water temperature is 62 degrees F (yeah, it's chilly, but it's clean and clear). WETSUITS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!
56-mile spectacular, scenic two-loop course on the shores of Newfound Lake. The course is mostly on classic New England back roads with rolling hills and limited traffic. The first 10 miles of each loop has been newly paved. Start out hugging the Newfound Lake Shore line, then head off to the green pastures and winding back roads of Alexandria, passing beautiful farm houses, quaint village greens, and rolling farmland. There are several challenging hills ranging from 4% to 6% grade. Course is not closed to traffic. There will be professional lead and sag vehicles provided by LAKES REGION VW-AUDI. MAVIC and MC CYCLE AND SPORT will be on course for mechanical support. They will also be on hand to help you with any problems that occur race morning. There will be aid stations with bottle hand ups approximately every 10 miles. This is a draft-free event! Marshals will be enforcing USA Triathlon drafting guidelines.
