Course Directions and Details on Course
The Swim
The swim will be an out and back course this year as per some recommendation of some of the swimmers. The course will follow a counter clock-wise direction (breathing from the left side), keeping all of the buoys on your left. There will be lifeguards, rescue boats, surf boards,and the police department’s dive team on hand to assist any swimmers having difficulty. Wetsuits are permitted regardless of the water temperature. Temperature of the water is well above 75 degrees F.
The Bike
The bike will be an out and back course. Riders will exit the transition area and head east on Park Rd, cross a small bridge and turn right onto Mill Rd (first intersection right turn). Watch for traffic, this is a 5-point residential intersection that we are unable to close entirely to traffic. This turns into Mill Rd. to Harding Highway (Rt. 606). This will be your first right turn. Bear right at the fork onto Weymouth Rd. This will also be your first right. Follow Weymouth Rd. to Avenue ‘G’ on the left side of the road. (if you hit the Black Horse Pike, you’ve gone too far). Turn around and go back the same way you came. The miles will be marked. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING THE RACE COURSE. Weymouth Rd. will be closed to vehicular through traffic. However, keep in mind that residents on the road may also be on the roadway. So, heads up and pay attention to all rules of the road. A bicycle is considered a motor vehicle and you must abide by all motor vehicle laws, therefore all participant may adhere to the “rules of the road”. There will be draft marshals on both bike, foot and motorcycle. Officials have been instructed to issue no warning for drafting. NO DRAFTING WILL BE PERMITTED. Automatic DQ! No arguments...Comprende’? In addition to the draft marshals, and police officers trained as draft marshals will also be present to ensure a safe race.
