Rules and Course info:

- This is a low key, low technology, family-fun event…chill out and enjoy it. It is an amazing venue with lots to do other than sweat. Come check out Lutherwood’s incredible property.
- Course: 500 meter counter-clockwise "U” shaped course in the quiet western cove of Lake Samish. Water temp is approximately 63 degrees F. Wetsuits recommended. Great viewing from the beach and from the dock. No caps provided but please wear one.
- Swimmers need to self-seed and be ready for a mass in-water start. There is plenty of room to warm up at the start.
- Several safety boats will be in the water at all times for your safety.
- All participants must have indelible number visible and have numbers pinned and visible on bike and running gear as directed at registration.
- Course: 14 km / 8.7 miles.
- New course!!! Due to negative local traffic impacts and logistics the old course we shortened the course to only one clockwise lap of the lake and it now includes the Summerland Wall, shooting up at a 10% grade at 4.9 miles. It is a ½ mile undulating pitch with a max grade of 10% near the beginning and a long false summit. This is followed by a nearly mile long fast and straight downhill section. Next year we will offer two distinct (long and short) challenging courses that will blow you away!!! Roy Road will be used for both in/out on the course. Please use your best behavior in this highly residential area on Roy Road. And OBEY all speed limits, especially while driving to/from event.
- Rules of the Road must be obeyed at all times…this means obeying all local traffic rules and street signs
- Volunteers and flaggers will be stationed where necessary. You may be ticketed for any traffic violations. You may be asked to stop, then safely proceed through any of the course intersections. You are responsible for your own safety.
- Helmets MUST be worn at all times while on your bike. No removing helmets until you are in your transition corral.
- Center-line rule in effect at all times – Please stay to the right at all times. Remember that there is always someone faster than you (including cars), even if you think you’re really fast.
- Please give a loud verbal warning or use a bike bell when overtaking other riders…then move back to the right. Pass slower riders ONLY on their left, just like on the road.
- No drafting allowed on the bike – no following within 3 bike lengths of any rider or vehicle.
- Bike must be in good working condition with front and rear brakes. All bikes are subject to inspection and will be removed from event if deemed unsafe by Race Director.
- 5 km / 3.1 miles.
- This spectacular clover leaf course winds in and around Lutherwood’s amazing property on a very unique and pristine single and double-track trail system. It will be a challenging trail run with climbing, descending, roots, bridges, mud, nettles, wild animals, solitude and plenty of smiles. You’ll see some of the camp’s impressive High/Low Ropes Challenge Courses, their 50ft. outdoor climbing wall/vertical playpen and numerous remote campsites. This is a challenging run…bring your trail shoes for sure!!
- Please allow other runners to pass by staying to the right.
