US Trisports Race Management

The Daybreak Tri is the finale of the Salt Lake Triathlon Series. The Daybreak Tri offers triathletes the only urban open water swim in the Salt Lake valley. The swim takes place in the new Oquirrh Lake at Daybreak and will offer a fast swim-to-bike transition. The bike course starts in Daybreak and goes past the Kennecott Copper mine and back. The run will take place inside of Daybreak on the fantastic trail systems around the lake. This race will be an instant classic for triathletes and offers spectators many opportunities to view different segments of the race.

SWIM (750 Meters Sprint / 1500 Meters Olympic) The swim course will take place directly off of the boat ramp. Athletes will swim to the far east buoy and will go counterclockwise to the far north-west buoy. Turning counter-clockwise around the buoy, swimmers will continue to the inner buoy and will return to the boat ramp. Olympic-distance racers will pass the inner buoy and make a second counter-clockwise loop around the far buoys and then return to the boat ramp.
Bike Course Athletes will exit the transition area onto Daybreak View Parkway and will follow it around the roundabout to 11800 south. Bikers will continue due west on a false flat until reaching the Bacchus highway. Making a left hand turn onto Bacchus, racers will conquer two challenging hills going past the entrance to the Kennecott Copper mines to the turnaround. Sprint-distance racers will complete one revolution and return to the transition area. Olympic-distance racers will continue past the mine entrance into Herriman City on U-111 until 6225 West where they will turn around and return to the transition area.
Run (5K Sprint / 10K Olympic) The run course will begin at the transition area and follow the paved trails around Oquirrh Lake. The 3.1 mile loop will be completed once by Sprint-distance racers and twice by Olympic-distance athletes. The run course is flat and smooth and should make for a fast race to the finish. With good sight lines, racers will be able to see the competition and challenge each other to the finish.
