More: 2014 Harvest Moon Aquabike:
Colorado’s only Half Distance Aquabike is the fastest growing event of the Harvest Moon. Attracting athletes who need a training event without the impact of a half-marathon, athletes who are swim-bikers by nature and can finally be rewarded for it, or athletes protecting those knees after a lifetime of competition!
The 4th Annual Harvest Moon Aquabike is a 1.2 Mile Swim, 56 mile bike event followed by a 200 meter run to the finish line.
AquaBikers will all begin in the same wave of the swim. Participants will follow the same swim and bike courses as the triathletes. Upon finishing the bike, AquaBikers will complete the first 150 meters of the run course with the triathletes, then veer left to cross the finish line.

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
