The Venue:
Nestled against the Green Mountains, just below Rattlesnake Point, is Branbury State Park. The lake region is a most spectacular and pristine place to swim, bike and run.
Novice and advanced triathletes alike marvel the beauty of our courses and enjoy the mountains, lakes and streams of Central Vermont. The park is an excellent place to relax with your family before and after the event.

Course Info:
|
Swim:
A two loop swim in beautiful Lake Dunmore. A safe and shallow swim.
- - - Bike:
The 56-mile bike is a beautiful “lollipop” course, which we like to describe as “rolling”. The route is extremely spectator friendly, open to traffic and will be monitored closely by police and traffic control officers as well as course marshals.
Police support will be at turnaround points to ensure safety of turns. These officers will be stopping traffic to allow for your turn. You will, as always, need to use caution when making those turns.
The elevation of the course ranges from 300 ft to 650 ft. as illustrated by our elevation profile. The course has lots of new pavement with wide shoulders and will be staffed with aid stations handing water bottles to all participants as requested.
A bike mechanic will be roaming the course to provide aid as needed.
- - - Run:
The 13.1-mile run is a GPS measured out and back course. As it is an out and back course the run should provide for excellent spectator support.
Aid stations will be found at approximately every mile and will be loaded with water, sports drinks, energy bars, gels, fruit, and more.
Course marshals will be roaming the route and will provide assistance as needed.
