Spectator Experience

YOUR triathlete will be participating in a momentous personal challenge. They have trained hard and are excited to start race day. But competing in a triathlon is a lot more fun with the support of family and friends so we encourage you to cheer on the competitors!

Race Venue

Versluis Park will be the heart of the action and the best place to start your day! Toilets will be available at the park for athletes and spectators. The park includes a playground for kids (Sorry, only athletes will be allowed to use the water/beach on race day and only during their swim wave.)

The swim will take place in Versluis Lake within the park. The transition area from swim/bike and bike/run will also be within the park. The bike is an out and back course, so you may want to venture out to cheer your athlete on along the course.

The athletes will then return to transition at Versluis Park and head out on the run. The run is a four-loop course for the Full distance race and two-loop for the Half distance race and an out and back for the Olympic distance. The turn around for the marathon and the finish line for all races will be in the parking lot outside Versluis Park so make sure you don’t miss that!

Where to Watch

Here are some recommendations for good viewing opportunities.

Swim:
To state the obvious, Versluis Lake. Preferably by the water.

Bike:
There are many cross streets along the course that provide parking opportunities. There are limited shoulders on the course itself, so for the safety of the athletes please do not park on the course itself.

Run:
Note that the run course is CLOSED to traffic.
