Bootlegger Super Sprint Triathlon

Great opportunity to try out Triathlon. This Super Sprint event will consist of a 250 yard pool swim (1 swimmer starts every 30 sec); a 12 mile bike through Dawson & Lumpkin county. The bike has some great rolling climbs going out and is rolling down hill and fast on the way back. The race finishes with about a 2 mile mostly flat run.

All pre-registered participants are guaranteed a race t-shirt and a goody bag. All race finishers receive a finishers award, as well as placings for top 3 overall and all the regular 5 year age groups. Great after race festival for the entire family.
