General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: For those ""hopping"" to race in South Carolina in July, MCF proudly presents the sixth annual Tri the Swamp Rabbit Sprint Triathlon at Furman University, one of the most picturesque campuses in the country. With over 1,000 registrations and 1,000+ spectators and volunteers at the first five events, the 2017 event will be another great success. The event is timed perfectly for mid-season summer fun, is family friendly, the only triathlon at Furman, and a great addition to the SCTS Series!
The 250-meter pool swim will make for a perfect start for the first timer and the Elite athlete alike. The swim will take place in the Furman Paladin Athletic Center pool with the transition area a few steps away near the football practice fields adjacent to the PAC. The manicured grass will feel like carpet beneath your feet.
The 16.5 bike course through beautiful Travelers Rest will test your mid-season legs rolling over a host of gradual climbs and a handful of short steep bursts with nearly all the climbing in the first half of the course followed by a fast finish leading into Furman's back gate. (Enjoy the ride home!!!)
After the bike leg you'll find a new twist on a 5K venue familiar to local athletes thanks to the addition of a sweet stretch on the Swamp Rabbit trail, the race's namesake. After a scenic jaunt around Furman's beautiful Swan Lake you'll enjoy more than a mile on the well-shaded Swamp Rabbit Trail, after which you'll loop back through this gorgeous campus towards the finish just beyond the transition area.
Anyone registering within the final 2 weeks leading up to the event date will not be guaranteed a shirt as orders must be placed at that time.
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."
