Olympic Tri - Looped ride over quiet country roads,
flat to rolling hills. Head north out of Nolte State
Park on Veazie Cumberland and Cumberland/Kanaskat
Roads to the junction of Retreat Kanaskat and Kanaskat/Kangley
Roads. Continue counterclockwise around the loop on
Kanaskat/Kangley Rd, and SE 272nd St. There will be
a 2.4-Mile out-and-back section on SE 272nd St to
the west towards the city of Kent before completing
the loop on Retreat Kanaskat Rd back to the junction.
The course then heads back south to Nolte State Park.
Sprint Tri - Out and back on quiet county roads,
flat to rolling hills. Begin by traveling north on
Veazie Cumberland and Cumberland/Kanaskat Roads to
the turn-around at the junction of Retreat Kanaskat
and Kanaskat/Kangley Roads, then south back to Nolte
State Park.
Run:
Olympic Tri - The flat & fast looped run course begins
by exiting Nolte State Park and running along the
wide shoulder south towards Enumclaw on Veazie/Cumberland
Rd to a turn-around approximately 2.3 miles away.
After re-entering Nolte State Park the course continues
on a 1.4-mile beautiful nature trail that circles
the lake and brings you back to the finish line.
Sprint Tri & Tri-iT- The flat & fast, two lap
run course stays inside Nolte State Park and takes
place on a beautiful nature trail that circles the
Lake. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THERE ARE TWO LOOPS AROUND
THE LAKE FOR THE SPRINT AND TRI-IT)
SPECIAL NOTE TO OLYMPIC
TRI/DU & HALF-MARATHON: There is a
1/4-mile section of the run course that is rough (pot-holes
and gravel). We have spent many hours with the county
and local authorities to try to come up with a solution
(fix it, or different course). We have had no luck
in acheving a solution, as the residence do not want
the road fixed (it keeps the traffic slowed down),
and there is no safe, logistical option for a new
run course. We have talked with athletes that do the
event, and the feed back is that they do not mind
the small inconvenience in lew of cancelling the event.
Additionally, we had some people in
the Olympic Du miss a turn on the course in 2007.
We will have better signage, and a race manager located
that that location.
