The race begins with a deep water start. The Entry and Finish area is on a large concrete boat

temp in late April is in the low to mid 70's. If water temp is above 78F wet suit will not be allowed.
Arkansas Canoe Club to assist with Water Safety.
BIKE - Tri Arkansas 38k Out and Back Course
BIKE - DeGray Lake Sprint 16 Mile Out and Back Course
Newly repaved (fall of 2009) roads for most of the course.
For the first time in the 8 years we will be changing the bike course. The road surface on the
2.5 mile section between Hwy 7 and the back entrance to State Park has degraded and has
become very rough. Skyline drive has been repaved so a totally new Bike Course will be
offered this year. If you take a few seconds along the way you will see some absolutely beautiful vistas.
RUN - Tri Arkansas 10k Course is a "T" shape Using paved roads, With a short Grass Section.
RUN - DeGray Lake Sprint 3.5 Mile Out and Back Course
Aid stations will be located at roughly 1 mile increments
and are very well stocked.
