Jeep Autoworld Swim - A counter-clockwise swim that will take place in the crystal clear waters of beautiful Lake George.
We have modified the swim course start. The swim will begin directly across the street from the transition area. You will start and finish on the same beach! We will no longer have to walk to the far end of Million Dollar Beach for the start. The first portion of the swim will be along the shoreline where you will be able to see bottom until about the 1st turn. It will be a little more spectator friendly as well. As you look to sight the finish, look for the Jeep flags to bring you to the finish.
Lake George is the "Queen of America's Lakes" and this will likely be one of the cleanest lakes you race/swim in this year!
Bike - RACERS: Please note that this NOT a closed course. Volunteers are there to direct you not the traffic. Please obey all traffic laws. The Bike course will remain the same as in 2007 – a single loop that is exactly 24.8 miles (40k).

New for 2008 – The course is reversed – counter-clockwise and we have eliminated the out and back on West Brook Road. The course is still 2 loops and when you finish, you just run onto the field. You will finish in the opposite direction from last year. We reversed the course so you finish flat not racing downhill!
Transition Area:
Fronhofer Tool Transition Area- it will again feature plenty of room for both T1 and T2 transitions. There will be a Team transition coral located in one of the corners. We again have the wooden Rear wheel bike racks. Please note when taking your bike out of the rack, lift the wheel out before you move it to either side… The swim and bike entrance will be on one side, while the bike and run exit will be on the other side.
