Swim Course Description - 1K
Bring your wetsuits! The
Nueces River is spring fed by 1.2 million gallons of new water a day.
The swim course begins with an out and back section and then a few
surprises. Be ready for adventure on the swim unlike any other race.
Following the swim, athletes ascend a steep 150' foot staircase that
leads to the transition area.
Bike Course Description - 12 Miles
The
bike course at Camp Eagle is one of the most scenic, yet challenging
courses in the country. The bike starts by plunging downhill before
taking you along the shores of the beautiful, spring-fed river. Enjoy
the downhill and flat river stretch because there's some climbing
ahead! The trails wind through the hill country setting accentuated by
several 30-mile vistas. After flying through a dry creek-bed, the
trail drops back down towards the river and your awaiting run.
Run Course Description – 6K
There
is not a lot of time to think about the pain as you navigate all the
obstacles (rocks), inclines (big hills), and water (that river
again). This challenging course will leave you wanting more!
