Courses Descriptions and Maps
Duathlon Run 1
Swim
Olympic Swim
.9 mile course in beautiful Sebago Lake. Average water temperature is in the mid 60s at that time of the year.
Sprint Swim
1/3 mile triangular course in beautiful Sebago Lake. Average water temperature is in the mid 60s at that time of the year. There is a 1/4 mile dirt road up to the finish. We will provide for a mini transition at the swim exit.
Run
3.1 mile course through the campus on wooded trails and paths. The course is updated to eliminate any bike / run cross overs. The first “Yellow” loop will be done once by Sprint and 3 times by the Olympic (don’t forget a lap!). The second, finish BLUE loop will be done once by everyone and is mostly on pavement! There will be aid stations approximately every 1 mile.
The Olympic run course has been UPDATED for 2022! It will include THREE laps of the YELLOW course and the blue finish loop and will be approximately 6 miles.
Transition Area
There will be one Transition Area adjacent to the finish. The transition area will open at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday (race morning) and will be closed approximately 15 minutes before the start of the first wave. Only volunteers, staff, and registered athletes are allowed into the Transition Area at any time. You must be body-marked before entering Transition (relays included), and have a safe, approved helmet and will have their bikes inspected for USAT compliance. Once you complete the race, you will not be allowed back into the Transition Area until all of the cyclists are back, or the bike time cutoff is reached.
Finish
The Sebago Lake Triathlon will finish near the transition on the grass in front of Xavier Hall.
Aquabiker’s time will stop when they finish the bike and enter transition. They can rack their bike, and make their way over to the finish, to return their chip, get their medal, and enjoy the BBQ.
Parking
Parking is conveniently located on campus a short distance from the transition area. PLEASE COME TO THE VENUE ONLY VIA Rt 302 to White Bridges Rd and turn right on to Wisterlea Way coming to campus and leave by making a left out of Wisterlea way. This will allow to you leave after your event is complete while we still have cyclists coming and going from campus. Thanks for your assistance making the event as safe as possible for all participants.
Relays
Relays are required to hand off the chip at their designated bike rack spot only. The cyclist cannot remove the bike from the rack before being tagged by the swimmer. The cyclist cannot tag the runner before re-racking the bike. The overall time for a relay will be the aggregate of times for each of the members.
Awards
Top 3: Male/Female overall
Top 3 in each age triathlon category (19 and Under, then every 5 years up to 80 and over)
Top 3: Male/Female overall Aquabike
