General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: The Tidewater Triathlon is brought to you in partnership with the City of Hampton and Buckroe Beach. There is plenty to see and do in the area so come in Friday night and see the local attractions before the race on Saturday.
Swim Course: Staged out of Buckroe Beach the swim is in the Cheasapeake Bay and features a triangular shaped swim course. It is a 1 loop course with a short beach run to get to the transition area. The course maps show a clockwise loop, but the direction of the swim will be determined race morning depending on the current. The water temp in 2012 was 79 degrees.
Bike Course: Completely revamped in 2013 the bike course includes portions of the course along Mallory and Mercury Streets. The turnaround is just outside Fort Monroe which is unavailable for events due to the BRAC process. This course is very flat and very fast.
Run Course: Fast and flat out and back sums up this course. The first half is along the boardwalk and the second half is along First street. There will be ice water available 3 times during the run.
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."
