General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: Swim: The .25 mile (Super Sprint) and .5 mile (Sprint) clockwise swim will start and finish at Sunset Beach. Athletes will leave in waves. If you're a little wobbly at the exit, you can grab hold of the hand rails - installed in the recent renovations - as you run out of the water. You'll run onto a paved sidewalk that will take you past the outdoor showers (feel free to use at will) and into transition.
Bike: The 2019 Bike Course is an out-and-back 14.8 mile course that travels through the cities of Issaquah and Sammamish The Course will take cyclists left out of Lake Sammamish State Park onto NW Sammamish Road which travels between the state park and a thriving Issaquah business district with restaurants, hotels, PCC Natural Market, and Costco Corporate headquarters.

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
