COURSE DESCRIPTION (as of March 10, 2008)


approx. - .75K

A half mile Swim at Memorial Beach will take pace in Webster Lake, also know as Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg*.

Temperature is approximately 75-78 degrees on a beautiful sandy beach. The course is triangular.



approx. - 20K

The Bike is a single loop course, fairly hilly. The Bike leaves the Race property and turns right onto Thompson Road (Rte 193). Turn right at the first set of lights onto Rte 16; this portion is a rolling road. At the fork of Rte 16 and Lower Gore Road, bear right onto Lower Gore Road. This section is a very residential winding, beautiful road. At the back end of this road is a large uphill followed by a large downhill with a right turn at the bottom. Please go slow in this area. At the bottom of the hill turn right onto East Thompson Road. Go to the end of the road and turn right onto Sand Dam Road, proceed to the end and turn right onto Thompson Road (Rte 193) and proceed back to the transition area. (course is 80% new pavement)


approx. - 5K/2.8 miles

The Run exits the Race property turning left onto Thompson Rd. Take your first left onto Birch Island Rd. Go to the very end and turn right on Cedar Rd. This makes a U-turn, passing Waterfront Mary's. Proceed back the same way you came to the Finish Line.

*A little history: Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, or for those tongue-tied tourists, common name Lake Webster, means you fish on your side, I'll fish on mine and no one fishes in the middle.

Danskin Women's Triathlon Series reserves the right to modify, which may include shortening, any of the three courses (Swim, Bike, Run) or cancel a specific leg of the Race at any point during the Race, if so advised by the Race Management Team.
