Course Info
The 1.2-mile swim course is a point to point along North Beach in Lake Michigan. North Beach Park is open for practice during the normal swimming season - weather permitting. Water temperature is almost always less than 78 degrees. Wetsuits are allowed and encouraged. North Beach is named a Blue Wave Beach by the Clean Beach Council.

The Bike Course is an exciting 56-mile course through the scenic countryside of Racine County. This is a mostly rolling course with some challenging hills mixed in to keep you honest.

This unique run course is a 13.1-mile double out-and-back that features a tour of the Racine Zoo, offering participants views of lions, black rhinos, monkeys, giraffes, kangaroos, and many more exotic animals. The remaining course runs along the beautiful Lake Michigan coastline as you make your way toward the Racine Lighthouse to the run turn around at Shoop Park. The course is very flat and fast!
