Aqua Sphere Swim Course

• Each race will start with a single wave in waist deep water.
• Multiple loop courses will not require you to exit the water until you finish your swim.
• The water temperature is predicted to be 16-19 degrees Celsius so a wetsuit-legal swim is very likely.
• You will be supplied with a swim cap that must be worn during the swim, however it is suggested that you wear two swim caps. Bring an additional swim cap to wear underneath the race cap.
• All Half participants must finish the swim before the race clock time of 1:05.
• All Olympic participants must finish the swim before the race clock time of 1:00.

Run Course

• All runners will head out of West Shawnigan Lake Park on the main Park trail, then along Shawnigan Lake road, crossing the road at the designated crossing and up to a connector trail to the Trans Canada Trail.
• The Sprint distance runners will turn right on to the Trans Canada Trail and head north to the sprint turnaround point, then back southbound on the trail, turn left onto the connector trail and back across Shawnigan Lake road. Once across Shawnigan Lake road the runner will turn right and run along the road then left down the park access road (the bike exit and entrance) to the finish.

The runners will then head back southbound along the Trans Canada trail, past the connector trail, and to the southern turnaround point. The participant will then run north back along the trail, turn right at the connector trail, and proceed to the finish line as per the other distances.
