Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Triathlon is scaled back and quite a bit different this year.
The full triathlon on Sunday is limited to 400 women, rather than the normal 1,600.
For the mixed run on Saturday, as of March 11th, only about 300 had signed up. The limit is around 800.
The races are based at Chugiak High School. Out and back for the bike and run portions.
There is only one aid station. It will have bottled water on a table at the turnaround point on the run course.
The Race Committee does not see a need for Ham Radio Volunteers in the pool area, the bike or running races.

9 mile Bike Course
Follows the same route as the Bike For Women - Course.
Starting in the parking lot of Chugiak High School, the course begins on a slight incline to the top of South Birchwood Loop Road. Taking a right out of the parking lot, the course continues to the stop sign on Birchwood Spur. Turning left, continue about a quarter of a mile to the turn around just before the railroad tracks.
The return follows the same course back to the finish line on South Birchwood Loop Road across from the parking lot entrance (by the start), not in the high school parking lot.
At the turnaround, there might be a bike repair station. There are no water or aid stations on the bike course.
