THE SCHEDULE

2026 RACE WEEKEND

FRIDAY MARCH 5, 2027

Course Preview:

If you plan to visit the park on Friday to review the course, please purchase a $5 parking pass at the guard gate. Note: the course won’t be set up until 3:00 PM, and there are no lifeguards—swim and cycle at your own risk.

Important: The park enforces capacity limits and will likely close the main entrance from 9 AM through 12 PM (times approximate). To avoid stress, plan to arrive in the early afternoon!

Required Pre-Race Briefing at the Clermont Arts and Recreation Center (3700 South Highway 27, Clermont). Athletes will get their packets at the briefing.
