Long Course
The swim will be in Shadow Lake. It will be 1/4 mile swim out and 1/4 mile back.
When you come out of the water, there isa steep climb in the sand to a walkway. The walkway leads up to the bike corral. There are also numberous areas to wash the sand off. The bike corral is positioned in the top parking lot at South Park. It is black top.
The bike heads out of South Park on Main Street. Approximately 3 blocks it turns right on Lake Street. Four blocks, turn right on Crystal Lake Road approximately 7.5 mile mark. Crystal Lake Road has a coarse gravel imbedded in the pavement for the first quarter mile,but it is in good shape. There a re 2 hills, the second one is very long, multistage hill. Turn right at the stop sign on County hwy K. We have a Reserve Deputy Sheriff and a squad car to slow the through traffic from the left, be cautious. hwy K has been resurfaced since we used it last. Turn right on Danielson Road cut off to Crystal Road. A Volunteer at Crystal Road and Shadow Road willhelp you cross traffic. Turn left on Shadow Road, whihc will bring you back towards town. The bad part of Shadow Road has been repaved, but sections are very course appregate. At the stop sign, turn right (this is also Shadow Road and Highway 22). We have a Deputy Sheriff and squad car on Hwy 22 to warn and slow auto traffic, a coned bicycle lane and 2 volunteers to help you make the corner safely. Please do your part to negotiate this corner safely. We have signs and volunteers to caution the traffic coming off of Hwy 10 to Hwy 22. Follow Hwy 22 into town and this will bring you to the upper level of South Park and into the transition area. The area along Shadow Lake is coned to create a bike lane. Any know course changes will be posted on the web site and as always at the pre-race course talks.
Riders will dismount their bikes and walk to their transition spot. Then go out the other end of the transition to begin their run. It is a flat, fast run through the streets of Waupaca.

SHORT COURSE
SWIM 1/4 MILE * BIKE 12.5 MILE * RUN 2 MILE
New Route for 2009!
We have made some changes in the 2009 Short Course based on your feedback from last year. We have: added 10 more minutes between Long and Short Course; improved the safety where the 2 races merge by merging at a different corner and extended the distance of the Short Course to be more proportionate to the swim and the run.
The SWIM will start following the last heat of the full Triathlon, again in heats of 50. The swim turn around will be moved back to 1/8 mile for a total of ¼ mile. The BIKE course will turn right at Spencer Lake Road from the long course and join back in at HWY K. This change adds about 5 miles to the bike portion. We have received permission to restrict auto traffic on K for the race for your safety. The RUN will turn left off of the long route at 7th and Park Ave., left again at Demarest Ave. and right on Berlin to return to South Park.
