Sandman International Triathlon - Olympic Distance
Swim Course
1 mile swim is triangular in configuration, one big loop. Water will be 70+ degrees F.
Bike course
The 25 mile bike course is out and back on a closed to traffic road.
Run Course
Approximately 6 miles from Herron Park towards the City of Moses Lake, it is mostly pancake flat with only slight hills to go over bridges. The entire route is paved.
The course takes athletes adjacent to I-90 next to Pothole Lakes.
The entire route is paved, athletes may use a road bike or a mountain bike. A road bike is faster but a mountain bike lets you check out the scenery better.
Relay Teams
Relay Teams will hand off at the transition zone, the athletes must shake hands, smile at each other to make the transfer complete.

Transition Zone
We have a designated area at Herron Park to place your bike and run gear while you are swimming. When you arrive in the morning you may place your bike in the bike racks, then pick up your number, unless you have done this the evening before. Transition zone is secured and for athletes only.
Body Marking
Yes! We are going to write on you! We mark your race number on your left shoulder and the back of you calf. Do not worry we are all qualified professionals at Body Marking and do not take any pleasure in writing on you.
