area. Bike course The bike course is 40K (24.8 miles) long and should be considered relatively difficult. The bike portion of the course will be marked by large green diamonds. Cyclist will leave the transition area to the north and proceed directly up "Lynch Hill." On San Antonio Drive athletes head out of the park and onto Interlake Road. On Interlake Road, triathletes proceed over rolling hills to the turn-around point at mile 12.4. Triathletes will return to the park on the same roads. As they re-enter the park, riders turn left and head down Lynch Hill and back to the transition area. Run course The 10k (6.2 mile) run course is a combination of road and trails through campgrounds and challenging hills. The run portion of the course will be marked by Small Green Diamonds. Triathletes will depart the transition area to the southwest, and climb the Lynch Ramp stairs. Turn left on the trail below the resort store lawn. Cross the bridge and proceed down the beach access road through "Beach City." At the base of "Beach Hill," continue straight off of the road and on to the trails along the shoreline (no beach hill this time). Follow the trails through Harris Creek campgrounds, and proceed past the launch ramp parking lot and onto Lake San Antonio Drive. Turn right up San Antonio Drive and at the Beach Hill intersection triathletes leave the road for trails and follow the fire access trail back to Lynch intersection. Finally, triathletes return to the road and turn right down Lynch Hill to the finish chute and the finish line.
