The Zoom RedHawk Triathlon and Multisport Festival will take place at Hueston Woods State Park Beach in Oxford, Ohio, which is a short drive North of Cincinnati and Southwest of Dayton. The course is entirely inside the State Park, and so you will get to experience all the beauty of Hueston Woods State Park. The swim takes place in Acton Lake, an inland Lake, which has very little boat traffic and offers a very calm swimming experience. Racers will swim out and back along the beachfront. The water is shallower near the shore and you can touch there, but on the backside of the course, you will not be able to touch bottom. Beginner triathletes will be able to touch bottom the entire swim course. The transition area will be in the parking lots just West of the Beach. Athletes will be on a paved lot as they transition from segment to segment.

The bike course goes around Acton Lake on a loop made up of rolling hills, with a total of 500ft of elevation gain. The run is also on rolling hills and has 270ft of elevation gained over the 3.1 miles. The bike is on a paved road open to motorized traffic, and the run is mostly pavement with a small mix of grass and gravel closed to vehicle traffic. Athletes will finish in the parking lots next to the transition area and then can celebrate their accomplishment with our post-race food.
