The SUPERFROG Triathlon features a cold ocean and surf swim, the discipline and endurance of a windy bike ride and the mind-bending harassment of a soft sand and pavement run.

(Info from 2011)

This course is not a course for the faint of heart. The swim course is an open ocean water 1.2mile swim in the brisk April waters.

There will be multiple wave starts that will be set 5-10 minutes apart. The wave start times that will be posted are APPROXIMATE times. Wave starts may be early or delayed. Please make sure to be at the swim start at least 20 minutes prior to your approximate wave start time.

The water temperature will be approximately 60 degrees. Wetsuits are recommended. Next, the bike course will be a flat and fast 56mile bike course. The course will be four loops on Highway 75. Safety certified helmets are required for the bike portion of the race. You will NOT be allowed to race without a helmet.

And lastly, the run course is a 13.1mile course on soft sand, hard sand, and hard pavement. The run will be composed of two 6.6 mile loops. Water will be available at all aid stations (2 per loop). Energy drinks and fruit will be available at both bike and run south stations. For the run course and the bike course, make sure to complete all loops for the course.
