Course Description:
Swim: The swim course is in the St. Lawrence River 150m
from transition. The swim course is aided by Cornwall
Fire water rescue, Kayaks and lifeguards.
Try-a-tri course is 200m in length. The Sprint and
Olympic courses cover 1 and 2 loops of the 750m Loop. Exit
from the swim course is onto a carpeted shore line then a short
sharp incline to the run into transition. The water
temperature in the St. Lawrence River is typically 72-74 degrees
Fahrenheit and allows for the use of
wetsuits in all events.
Bike: The bike course is held on closed roads along the
St. Lawrence River in Cornwall. The course is slightly rolling but
technical. The bike course is 10km in length. The
course heads east out of transition to a turn around near
Boundary Road. Heading west the course enters into the Nav
Canada Training Institute for a circular loop of the building.
Once back on Montreal Road, continue to head west to a left turn on
Marlborough St. This slight downhill is the fastest part of the
course and winds through Cornwall's Historical Cotton Mill district
returning to Montreal Road for the eastward ride back to the
transition area. The Try-A-Tri race complete 1
loop, the Sprint Tri and Du complete 2 loops and the Olympic distance
competitors will complete 4 loops. Note: There is a 300m section of the course just
east of the transition that narrows to allow vehicle access to the
Glen-Stor-Dun Lodge faciltiy.
Run: The run is held on the beautiful recreational path along the
banks of the St.
Lawrence River. The run course is slightly rolling and 5km
in length. The first Sprint Duathlon run will head west
along the bike course on an out-and-back route. The first
Sprint Duathlon run will enter transition in the same manner as
the bike-in. After the bike portion has been completed all runs head east
along the recreational path. The Try-A-Tri race completes
1 loop of a 2.5km course, The Sprint Tri/Du/Relay complete 1 loop
of the 5km course and the Olympic distance racers will complete 1 loop
of the 10km course.
