2009 Lake Geode Challenge A Big Success "It has a small, hometown feel to it," said Daniel Bretscher (male winner). "They do a great job putting on this race. It's just a real friendly atmosphere here" (as quoted in The Hawkeye newspaper)
This USAT (USA Triathlon) sanctioned event starts with a 1.5 kilometer, clockwise, out & back swim from the sandy beaches of Lake Geode. Buoys mark the entire course and boats and safety personnel will be on the lake during the swim.
The 40 kilometer bike course will take participants on a scenic loop outside Geode State Park. The course features flat roads and rolling hills through a quiet, rural countryside. Water will be provided mid way through the course.
The race concludes with a 10 kilometer out & back run on good asphalt roads within beautiful Geode State Park. The course includes rolling to challenging hills. Water and sports drink will be available at the exit from transition, approximately every mile on the course and at the finish line.
