The Superior Man is an epic triathlon that draws athletes from around North America to Escape from the Vista Fleet into the bay of Lake Superior. On August 24th in Duluth, MN athletes will embark on a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and 13.1 mile run along Lake Superiors North Shore. A unique transition inside of an arena and a grand finish in Bayfront Park are a part of why Minnesota Triathletes rated the event as the "2013 Athletes Choice Race of the Year!"
Course Information:
The Superior Man Triathlon begins aboard the Vista Star cruise ship, the flagship vessel of the Vista Fleet. Athletes Escape from the Vista Fleet in a time-trial fashion into the Bay of Lake Superior. The 1.5 loop swim course follows the Northeastern break wall offering spectators a fantastic view of swimmers. Athletes exit the water near the corner of the Great Lakes Aquarium.
Because the bay is enclosed from the main body of Lake Superior, temperature variations and waves are typically diminished. However, it is possible that athletes could face strong currents, high waves, and water temps dipping into the high 50s. Be prepared for a challenging swim. Wetsuits are required.
Bike Course:
The bike course is a relatively flat loop going north and south along Lake Superior. After navigating out Downtown Duluth athletes travel north along Highway 61 to Two Harbors. On the way back athletes take the Scenic North Shore Highway along Lake Superior. Two aid stations are available on the bike course at miles 19 and 38. They will be stocked with water, Gatorade, and porta potties.
Run Course
The run course takes advantage of Duluths best running path, the Lakewalk. Athletes run a two-loop course through Canal Park that mostly follows the Lakewalk. The course is generally flat and very well supported with 7 aid stations on each lap that will include water, gatorade,and gel.
