Swim Course (Pool 300 yards): The swim course is a timed start with participants lining up according to estimated swim time for 300 yards. This is a snake style swim with participants swimming 2 lengths of the 50 yard pool, then under the line into the next lane. This is done 3 times as swimmers snake up the lanes from one side of the pool to the other. Swimmers will be started approximately every 5-10 seconds, thus there will be at least 50 seconds between swimmers starting. Swimmers must enter the pool feet first. Swimmers must swim on the right side of the lane (change sides for the return lengths). Lifeguards will be placed along the perimeter of the pool. Spectators will be allowed in the pool area; however, they must remain in specified areas. Swimming aids (arm floaties, kickboards, etc) ARE NOT ALLOWED in the adult race. Bike Course (11.6 miles total): The bike course is an out-and-back 11.6 mile ride. The course consists of one S-curve on a hill, a one-way bridge, and a small gradual climb (and decline coming back). The return ride is the same route. Tiger Shark Bike Map Run Course (5K = 3.14 miles): The run course is an out-and-back 5k route. The course takes you to the north side of the pool property to intersect with the Jordan River Trail. The course does consist of a few switchbacks as you head down to the river bottoms over the edge of the bluff. Runners will stay on paths that consist of pavement and bridges. Route will be clearly marked with aid/water stations strategically placed.

This is done 2 times as swimmers snake up the lanes from one side of the pool to the other.

Swimmers must swim on the right side of the lane (change sides for the return lengths). Lifeguards will be placed along the perimeter of the pool. Spectators will be allowed in the pool area; however, they must remain in specified areas. Bike Course (5 miles total): The bike course is an out-and-back 5 mile ride.

Coming from the North or South, take the 12600 S. exit off of I-15 and head West. Drive West to 1300 West and turn left (South). Take 1300 West to Withers Lane (~12765 South) and turn left (East).
