SWIM
The race begins with a 1500m or 750-meter swim in Pineview Reservoir (15-minute drive from the finish area at Snowbasin), where water temps hover near the "wetsuit-required" range. A final determination will be made on-site and posted at the registration tent.

MOUNTAIN BIKE
Racers leave T1 and head west toward Ogden Canyon for the 30K / 19K mountain bike. Mild, steady climbs warm up the legs for more demanding climbs on the first half of the bike leg. A blend of single track and rocky double track will test your bike skills. Make your move soon, because there's a lot of single track ahead. Turn left near Pineview Dam on to Wheeler Creek Trail heading south. Single track dominates the next ten miles of trail. Course elevation climbs to 7,000 feet during the bike leg and takes just one downhill break at about the halfway point. The descent brings you down 550 feet in elevation over a mile and a half. It's a great time to breathe deep and catch a second wind. The final four miles climb back up to about 6,700 feet to T2.

TRAIL RUN
Get ready for more climbing! If you can take your eyes off the trail ahead (and take your mind off the burning in your legs), you'll be treated to a scenic horizon dominated by towering aspens. Take a deep breath and take it all in. You'll need it for the next section of the run. Halfway through the run is the highest point on the entire course at about 7,500 feet. We'll bring you back down to the race compound and through to the finish at Snowbasin.
