Course Info: The bike course is a non-stop barrage of short, steep, one and two-minute climbs followed by quick descents – all on a virtual moonscape highlighted with the various shades of red, sand, and grey that the desert dishes out. There are more than 2,000-feet of climbing on the 30km bike course (1,000+ per lap) and lots of room to pass.

More: The swim starts right at Montelago Village, then you get out of the water and enter a virtual moonscape with the various shades of red, sand, and grey one racer described as “lunar technical on baked clay.”
