Hey CHAMP Dudes...I have a few questions, Pal, about this Border War thing.
  • "I Live alone...I train alone...I don't need nobody on my team!"  Do I have to be a tri club member to participate?   Nope...You can race as an
    independent.  The team scores will be based on your state residency.

  • If PA wins the Border Battle "Cup" or whatever prize there is...Who gets it and where will it go?   CHAMP will get it and pawn it for gas...just kidding...the
    triathlon club with the most members participating will be awarded the award on behalf of the state.  It is up to the club representative at that point
    of where the award will be.

  • I am not a part of "Tri Club"...but rather I am part of a Triathlon "TEAM"...is this still considered a "club?"  Yep...club...team...it's all a very similiar type of
    thing.  So a "team" (as opposed to a "club") can take home the award and be represented

BIKE COURSE DETAILS:
The Introductory stretch of the 13.5 Mile Bike course will begin at Breakwater Beach and head eastbound on LAKE ROAD WEST to SR 534 to the main loop.

THE MAIN LOOP:  The main loop will head north on SR 534 to east on SR 531 through the town strip, and then heading south on AUSTIN ROAD.  The Bike
course continues turning right/westbound on NEW LONDON ROAD, returning to SR 534 NORTH.  The bike course will be
2 LOOPS OF THE MAIN
LOOP...ALL CYCLISTS WILL STAY ON SR 534 NORTHBOUND FOR LAP #2.
 DO NOT PULL INTO THE PARK/LAKE ROAD AFTER LAP #1...2 laps are
required for the bike course.  
After the 2nd lap of the MAIN LOOP, cyclist will take a left/west onto LAKE ROAD and head back to the beach.
REMINDER:  ONE Transition area (at the beach) is now used.

RUN COURSE DETAILS: Super Spectator-Friendly!
The run course will exit the beach drive and head westbound on LAKE RD.  Then U-turn onto the PAVED bike path heading back to the beach area.  The
ONE MILE is just past the beach lot on the path.  The course continues eastbound on the paved path, alongside the marina/boat ramp area, and up the
boat
ramp drive.
 The course then heads west briefly on Padanarum Road through an access road back to beach lot.  The 2 mile is on the beach drive.  THE
RUN COURSE THEN LOOPS AROUND THE TRANSITION AREA AND HEADS BACK OUT OF THE BEACH DRIVE
(just like the start of the run).  Repeat the
first mile of the run course and finish by the beach!  REMEMBER...THE RUN WILL REPEAT THE FIRST MILE PORTION OF THE COURSE.
