More: 2012 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 3rd 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.
Directions: Directions To Race:
The race site is the Aurora Reservoir, located a short drive from Denver.
Spectators will be charged a $4.00 per vehicle entrance fee to the park. This fee will be waived for athletes on race day.
The most direct route is to take I-70 east from Denver, & exit onto I-225.
Exit I-225 at 6th Ave. & turn left (east). 6th Ave. eventually becomes Gun Club Rd.
Stay on this road as it continues past Buckley AFB. A short time later you will see signs for Quincy Ave & the Aurora Reservoir.
Turn left on Quincy & right into the reservoir.
