THE COURSE
Swim Course
The swim is in Lake Winnebago along a unique and panoramic shoreline; starting and finishing at the beach.  Plenty of buoys will be available to rest if needed and as a guide for the finish point.  Large balloon arch to sight for the swim finish.
    
Bike Course
Both courses head out of the park climbing High Cliff.  High Cliff is the signature of the event.  The course continues up Tower Drive with a few undulating hills. The long course heads down scenic Lake Shore Drive that is very well groomed and flat.   The sprint course begins the same as the long course then heads east on Faro Springs.
 
Run Course
The run courses go through High Cliff State Park area including up the hill for a beautiful overview of the Lake Winnebago shoreline which runs mostly through trails.  The short course cuts off at a trail and heads down High Cliff to the finish.  The long course is a double loop and also heads down High Cliff to the finish.

Bike racks will have your race number and wave you start in.  Each mile on the run courses will be marked.  All courses will have highly visible signage for each turn.  The long bike course will have aid stations and bottle exchange. There will also be plenty of aide stations along the course.  

We will have wetsuit strippers on the way to transition from the swim to assist with the removal of wetsuits.

Transition area is guarded at all times.

Come early the morning of the event.  There will be a drop zone.  Park only in the designated areas.  If you do not have a 2013 Wisconsin State Park Pass you will need to purchase a pass from High Cliff State Park at the entrance when you arrive. Parking is also outside of the park. Please, No Dogs.  We suggest to park in the park only if you are doing the half iron.
