Type: Sprint
University of Missouri-Student Recreation Center
Columbia, MO, 65211United States
Age Group - $60; Elite - $75
Relay Teams (2 or 3 people)- $110; 400Yard / 14M / 3M; Swim Course - The RFS swim is held in the brand new competition pool at MU. The swim is "snake-style" meaning that everyone will line up according to their swim time (please time yourself at 440 yards before the race) and start individually (~10 seconds apart), swimming one behind the other. You will do "laps" to the end of the pool (swim to the end of one lane, duck under the ropes and swim to the end of that lane, duck under the ropes and so on). If you must pass, simply tap the toes of the person in front of you.... if your toes are tapped, move to the side and let the person through.
Bike Course - The bike course is a loop on open roads, with some turns and gently rolling hills (two laps). There are a few hills, so throw a decent hill or two into your training. Arrows, signs and volunteers will help you. There is potential construction planned around the Mizzou Arena during the time of the race, so we have made a few small changes to avoid the construction area. Run Course - The run course is mostly flat and travels to the east side of MU Campus around the School of Vet Medicine. There is a mix of sidewalks and roadways, so be sure to watch for signs, arrows and volunteers to show you the way. Transition Area (TA) - The entire transition area will be located on the Stankowski Field turf. The area has been designed first and foremost with safety and ease of traffic movement in mind. You will run from the swimming pool into the TA through the RUN IN door. You will exit, on your bike through the BIKE OUT DOOR. After the bike is finished, you will enter the TA through the BIKE IN door, put your bike away and head out of the RUN OUT door, then complete the run course and finish under the finish line arch. Arrows, signs and volunteers will help you.
