START: North Coast Harbor @ Great Lakes Science Center FINISH: Edgewater Park 

The swim courses are in the break wall protected North Coast Harbor in the shadow of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The Swim start is a 3-person time trial start by division from a boat dock behind the Great Lakes Science Center. The distances on the swim are 250 meters for the Super Sprint, 750 meters for the Sprint, and 1500 meters for the Olympic distance triathlon.

The bike courses are on the closed-to-traffic Memorial Shoreway that highlights the Cleveland skyline and downtown neighborhoods.
