Course Info: The swim is in Hog eye lake, a small lake with very little going on and no houses on it. It is a clear, shallow lake. You will have the noodle support on the lake as well, so use as you need them. The bike is as flat as a pancake, all right turns around farm land. It is a 20k bike course. Those ladies doing the long course will do 2 laps, continue past the park for lap two,do not turn into the park until you have completed both laps. The run course is a cross country style course, entirely closed and entirely inside the park. The course is used by local high schools and community colleges for their cross country course. It is flat with two short, small hills and tree lined most of the way.

Directions: The park itself is located in Vicksburg, less than 10k from downtown Kalamazoo. Plenty to see and do in and around the park and Kalamazoo. The event was formally the Prairie View triathlon. Through many emails the female athletes have been asking for a race of their own. We have looked at new venues, looked our existing venues and this is a great fit. A closed run course, a flat all right turn bike course, and a clear shallow lake swim in a small lake at a beautiful park. Ladies get your neighbors, fellow workers involved, see the Get Fit Michigan program.
