Escape to Blue Ridge is a proud sponsor of the 2010 Tri the Mountains Sprint Triathlon and will award the top 3 men and woman groups with their own EBR biking jerseys. This will be an incredibly scenic race in the North GA Mountains! The swim will be in the crystal clear waters of Lake Blue Ridge. The bike is an 18 mile out and back crossing over the lake with mountains towering in the background. The run will follow the same route over the dam and is an out and back as well. Awards and the after party will take place in Historic Downtown Blue Ridge and should be one to remember. If you have never visited Blue Ridge GA, put this on your race schedule! Come see why Blue Ridge is becoming a triathlon mecca!
Course Info: SWIM: The 600 yard swim course in the beautiful, clear waters of Lake Blue Ridge is a one loop affair around a triangular course, which is laid out nicely for a fast first leg of the day.
BIKE: Once out of the water, the athletes run up the boat ramp to the transition area where they will grab their bikes for the 18 mile out and back bike course. Racers will cycle up a slight climb out of the marina to a right on Old Hwy 76, and then enjoy the first of many long downhills. They will cross over the Lake Blue Ridge Dam and will be treated to amazing views of the Lake and Mountains to the right, and the Toccoa River to the left. The ride over the dam is flat and then the next 8 miles will be rolling and fun, with a few longer climbs and incredibly fast downhills. Athletes will turn around at mile 9 and head back to the transition area. They will be greeted by a nice downhill to the Marina. RUN: The beautiful one-lap run course follows the same route as the bike with an easy climb out of the marina followed by a long downhill to the dam. Once on the dam, the run will be flat until the climb back up to the marina. Following this climb, racers will love the downhill into the finish. Directions: 335 Marina Drive, Blue Ridge, Georgia 30513
