General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: The race is actually in 3 spots. Registration and Finish line are located in front of the police, fire, and city building on W. Lake St. The start of the event is behind the buildings at the beach in the marina next to the break wall. The transition area is located in downtown Petoskey, about 400m away on Bay St.
The entire swim course is protected by the breakwall and takes place inside the marina. This means no matter how rough the water is in the bay, we swim in smooth, calm water protected by the breakwall. Some participants in the past have seen 4+ foot high waves on the other side of the breakwall, while we swam on flat calm water. The bike is one of our favorites, it is hilly to rolling, but what goes up must come down and that is truly a fun ride. Tuck and go baby. If a lot of hills is not to your liking the sprint race is perfect.
You can see from the past year’s bike times the course is not difficult. It is beautiful scenery though, and the run course ranks up there too, also one of our favorites. Running along the bay, then along the Bear River is exhilarating before a very fast downhill finish that starts about a mile back on the Bear River service road.

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."
