The Spring Sprint Triathlon is Utah's premier pre-season race. What better place to kick off the 2010 Triathlon season than at 2 world-class venues! Begin with a  'swim-first' 400 meter pool swim in the Olympic pool at Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center (KOPFC), add a challenging bike course with hills and flats, and end with an exciting run course with a one-of-a-kind finish on the indoor track of the Utah Olympic Oval. Oh...and did we mention that this is one of the most spectator-friendly races around!

 

COURSE INFORMATION

SWIM (400 Meters)

The swim course will take place in the 8-lane 50 meter Olympic pool at the Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center directly adjacent to the Olympic Oval. Unlike most pool-swim triathlons, racers start off swimming with athletes entering the water at timed intervals to keep pool crowding at a minimum. Swimmers will start at one end and zig-zag to complete the 400 meter swim.

BIKE COURSE (20K Sprint)

Athletes will exit the transition area on Morning Breeze Dr. Bikers will cross to the north side of 5400 heading west. (Police will control this cross-over point to ensure bikers can safely proceed.)

Athletes will head west toward the 111 Bacchus Highway. The 5600W / 5400S intersection will have Police stationed on the north / south bound lanes to control traffic and let bikers proceed safely.) Upon reaching Highway 111, bikers will merge into the right lane heading north. (UDOT will be closing the right lane between 5400 S and 4100 S for the race.)

Bikers will exit at 4100 S and head east until reaching 6400 W where they will turn south and cross over to the south side of 5400S. (Police will be controlling this intersection to give bikers the right-of-way crossing.) Heading east, bikers will turn right back onto Sara Jane and return to the transition area.

RUN (5K)

The run begins at the transition area and will loop through the park to the west of the Utah Olympic Oval. The run course will wind through the adjoining neighborhoods and will reenter the park west of the Utah Olympic Oval where athletes will run into the Olympic Oval and complete the final 400 meters on the indoor track and cross the finish line.
