We have decided to go with a two-loop swim course to make the first leg more fun for both participants and spectators. Check out the course page for a complete description. Swimmers will start out at the edge of the Riverside Park swimming area and follow the south side of the bridge with spectators watching […]

I have ordered nice souvenir swim caps, race numbers, and water bottle for each participant. We are working on finalizing the sponsors and race logo, and then will place another order for participant hooded sweatshirts and possibly volunteer t-shirts.

One of the great features of this race will be the enthusiastic run course support created by our aid station competition. Local youth organizations will compete for prize money using creative aid station themes and lots of noise.

We now have the Cove Deli on board to serve a great post race lunch to all participants in their restaurant right next to the finish line. Hammer Nutrition from Whitefish, MT has also agreed to provide race bag goodies and aid station drink and nutrition support on the run course.

We are lining up some great local sponsors and many great volunteers to help make this year’s race really special. I just ordered great new race water bottles, swim caps, and bike frame and bib numbers for all the participants. The excitement is building as local athletes get serious about their training.
