It is a good course for the most part but be aware you can get stuck at the train tracks, the middle two miles of the run are on trails and the last half mile is in the sand of the beach. It isn’t a PR course but it’s fair game.

I am sad to see this race bough by WTC, it's wonderfully run and the volunteers were great. Small town feel while still looping us through gorgeous wineries. MORE

Beautiful course and good people to race with. Support stations had jelly beans!
Only criticism is the water station on the summit and the next we 7 miles apart but were marked on the map as under 6 so I ran out of water.

Course is beautiful but the water is very (VERY) cold, consider booties!

Weather was much more favorable. Same swim course issues (shallow water) but no issues with heat on the run course. Carpets were laid out to prevent the burns of the previous year.
Kona spot claiming can be much more efficient that this was.

Swim course can be very shallow if you aren’t near the middle of the canal.
Still one of my favorite bike courses, windy but fairly flat. Good downhill into the finish.
Tarmac at transition resulted in sever burns on the feet of many racers. Spent the entire run trying to hobble through the massive blisters that were on the balls of my feet. If the weather is at all hot do not put your bare feet anywhere without a carpet (carpets were laid out the following year)

Course was ok, which considering the venue is a bit disappointing. Bike has some very sharp turns that pose a high risk. Run course has very poorly spaced water stops, two within a quarter mile of eachother then nothing for three miles.
