General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: A staple for the last 5 years, the Labor Day sprint duathlon & triathlon takes place at the beautiful Tradewinds Park located in Coconut Creek, Florida. On Labor Day before the barbecues begin, athletes will compete in a fast and safe triathlon or duathlon. The Labor Day race is perfect for the new triathlete with a straight across the lake swim, traffic-less bike course, and a sidewalk run. - See more at: http://www.multirace.com/events/115#sthash.etOn2MOq.dpuf
More: Swimmers will start on the south end of the lake and finish on the north end. The lake is calm, with no current and minimal wake from other swimmers. Spectators can see the entire swim along the park path. For those athletes who prefer not to swim, we offer the duathlon option, replacing the swim with a .75 mile run.
As athletes exit the water, they will transition to their bikes for a fast and safe 10 mile bike ride through Tradewinds Park. Cyclists will enjoy this course because it is void of vehicular traffic, giving them a chance to focus on their bike performance. Cyclists will pass each other on the way back into transition.
Runners will get to view Tradewinds Park from the paths around the lake in a 2 loop course. This is another great opportunity for spectators to cheer on their athletes. Picnic tables are plentiful for families and friends to gather at for a comfortable spectating experience, especially for older parents and children. There is also a playground to keep the young ones entertained.

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."
