Using some portions of the 2008 bike course, racers will compete on a 2 loop bike course through the towns of Tecumseh and Lakeshore. |
The Kids of Steel Run courses will take place in Lacasse Park and the quiet neighbourhood streets surrounding the park. The Sunday runs will be in the St. Clair Beach area of the Town of Tecumseh, along tree-lined streets and the paths adjacent to the Lakewood and Beach Grove golf courses. |
From the in-water start, triathletes will head east into the morning sun, and turn around and return to Riverfront Park. Average water temperature is 72-75F and wetsuits will be allowed(age groupers only). KOS swim courses will take place in the Lacasse Park pool area with plenty of lifeguards. |

The purpose of this race is to give beginnners a chance to try a triathlon on the same course as a regular triathlon, but on a smaller scale. The 300m swim course for the try-a-tri is in the warm and shallow waters (you can stand most of the way) of Lake St. Clair. Upon exiting the swim, your bike will be located 200m away. Once in the transition area, you would put on whatever clothes you might feel appropriate to bike in (some athletes bike in swim suits - it's really whatever is most comfortable for you!), followed by a mandatory bike helmet and shoes. You'll then walk/run your bike to the mount line located at bike exit of the transition area. The bike course is 15km out and back along the same course as the Tim Hortons Triathlon/Duathlon. Once finished on the bike, you would get off your bike at the dismount line and walk/run your bike back to your spot in the transition area (helmet must remain on until your bike is racked). Now, you get ready for the 3km run by changing (or not). The 3km run again is along the same route as the Triathlon/Duathlon and has plenty of water and enthusiastic volunteers to help you finish the Try-a-Tri. After you're done, don't forget to try some of our awesome hospitality under the Tim Hortons tent. You can then watch the remaining athletes finish while waiting for the awards ceremony.
