1.5km
Olympic Triathlon participants enjoy the “Olympic Course” two lap swim at Hubbles Lake. Allan Beach features a large sandy area for the start and finish. We use a mass start so seed your self appropriately. This is a calm lake and the course is well marked and we will have a large contingent of lifeguards and kayakers to ensure your safe completion. Volunteers will be on hand to aid in removing wetsuits in preparation for transition on to the bike.
50km
Why do 40km when you can do 50km! After you head out of Allan Beach Resort you turn right on Hwy 16 and head to Hwy 779 and turn south and head into Stony Plain. Turn right at 44th Ave, turn right at 50th St, head past the pavilion and right onto Parkland Hwy. Take the overpass interchange onto Hwy 779 and head north to the turn around 19.5km out, head back to Stony Plain and rack your bike. Technical support will be provided on course but make sure you have the appropriate supplies in case of mechanical issues.
