The perfect short-distance multisport event to start off your season!
The Tune Up Tri is an excellent race for beginners,
and also a great opportunity for more experienced athletes
to use as a gauge of your fitness early in the season.
It's a tune-up...hone your skills
and remember what it feels like to race 3 sports in one event!
TUNE UP FOR THE 2014 SEASON!!!
The Tune Up Tri has a twist in it:
since we're racing in March and don't want icicles in our hair.....
we'll start the triathlon with the run, then do the bike,
and finally end up with a "snake swim" at the pool
(so you begin your swim whenever you arrive, not having to wait for an empty lane)
Age 10 through ADULT welcome to participate.
Run: route map 1.5 miles primarily on road and sidewalk, with a short
distance on grass
The race will begin with the run with wave starts.
A short portion of this run is off-road on grass and mulch.
Start: Edwin King Lane to a left turn onto Freedom Center Blvd., toward the driveway entrance to the back of the Freedom Center
Turn left into the driveway entrance into the Freedom Center parking lot
Continue straight onto the service road that runs behind the building
at the end of the paved roadway, follow the course markings along the grass around the side of the building (this marked pathway will curve to the left)
pathway will lead you to a sidewalk beside George Mason Circle, continue to right turn on the sidewalk just before the first building
Follow the signs and the sidewalk as it goes along behind the university buildings and leads back out to the sidewalk
turn right and follow signage around the perimeter of the large parking lot
once you've gone around the entire parking lot, continue ON SIDEWALK all the way back toward the Freedom Center
After passing Edwin King Lane, follow course marshals instructions and signage to enter the roadway toward the Freedom Center
Enter the transition area in front of The Freedom Center.

The race finishes in the indoor pool.
Swimmers will begin the swim whenever they reach the pool after completing the bike portion of the tri . There will be 8 lanes set up in the 25 yard pool, a total of 200 yards. You will sit and slide into the pool and use the ladder to exit the pool. Each will swim down the first lane, go under the lane line, swim back in the next lane, go under the next lane line, swim down the next lane, etc. This is called a snake swim...and you should practice going under the lane lines at your own pool before the triathlon.Our format for the swim includes:
- swimming in each lane goes only one direction
- passing is allowed
- you MUST swim to the wall, touch it, go under the laneline, and push off from wall in next lane
- flip turns will not be permitted. Use of flip turns will be cause for disqualification from the race.
- NO diving or jumping into the pool (you'll be seated and then slide in from the side)
transition area: 4 bikes to a rack, unassigned (first come first serve)
