Sprint Competitors: A 5 kilometer scenic loop takes runners east on Laurier Street, over the bridge (Columbia River) on to a short connecting path to Lakeview Place, continuing south for a short distance on Lakeview Road to the turnaround and aid station (at approximately 2.5 kilometers). On the return, go right at the fork of Lakeview Place and Lakeview Road for the climb to Athalmer Highway.

Cycle

Standard= 40 kilometers / Sprint = 20 kilometers

An out and back course – cyclists leave T1 transition area heading north on 3rd Avenue and turn left onto Laurier Street to be faced with a climb over the railroad overpass to the controlled intersection near Sobey’s. Both traffic light controlled intersections (Laurier/3rd Avenue & 4th Street/7th Avenue) will be manned by professional flaggers. Turn right on to 4th Street, to pass Sobey’s, then turn left on to 10th Avenue (at the T intersection) and continue along 10th Avenue to 13 Street. Turn right on to 13 Street where a short climb takes you to 13th Avenue (Westside Road). Turn left on to 13th Avenue/Westside Road.
