Mixed Team Relay
Sunday April 16th features the third and final race of the weekend which is the high-octane Mixed Team Relay featuring two men and two women open to each competing University. The short swim features three quick left turns that bring you back to shore. A fast paced one loop bike will get the blood pumping before you hit the pavement for a ½ mile ALL OUT Run – tag your teammate then it’s off again to the races…
The Grand Hall Parking Lot will play host to this year’s transition, expo, athlete zone with team tents and Finish Line.
