Racers begin the race by jumping off of Fairhope Pier and swimming 1/3-mile in Mobile Bay to the shore. Racers exit the water, run up a ladder, and head to the transition area.

Following the swim, racers bike 18.6 miles through the charming city of Fairhope, beginning up a steep hill before riding through miles of rolling countryside and along Mobile Bay.

After the bike, racers complete a 3.1 mile run through the streets of downtown Fairhope before finishing alongside Mobile Bay. Racers cross the finish line at Fairhope Park.
