Sprint-Distance Race [Overview Map] [Transition Area Map]
Swim: The swim is 400 meters (8 lengths of the pool). Swimmers will enter at the southeast-most lane of the pool, swim one length (50 meters), and move to the next lane. Swimmers must stay on the right and pass on the left. [Leg Map]
Bike: The bike is 20K in length with 2 turnaround points. It starts at the intersection of Bullock and El Camino Real, exiting the transition area, next to the pool. It proceeds west on Bullock, turns around the New Mexico Tech campus on Olive, turns west on the golf course road, and then north on the Escondida road to the first turnaround point at the I-25 underpass. The course returns to the EMRTC building, where it turns west for approximately 2 miles to the second turnaround point. The return course goes directly to the transition area. [Leg Map]
Run: The run is a 5K course, with 2 turnarounds. Starting at the transition area, near the intersection of Bullock and El Camino Real, it proceeds north on El Camino Real for about 1 mile, where it turns around. It then turns west onto Newberry Road for another out-and-back leg, then east back to El Camino Real, then south to finish at the transition area.[Leg Map]
