Race location: Edgewater Park

Participants will start the swim at Edgewater Beach. 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. Participants will be provided with multiple lanes to race on the entire course to avoid drafting and allowing for safe passing. 

Per USAT Rules Competitive Rules:  5.3 Knowledge of Course. The sole responsibility of knowing and following the prescribed cycling course rests with each participant. No adjustments in times or results shall be made for participants who fail to follow the proper course for any reason whatsoever. 

No e-bikes are allowed for this race

The run through Edgewater Park will give participants breathtaking views of downtown Cleveland and the lakefront.  Note that the park is not closed to the public. Therefore, there may be other people on the run course who are not participants.

Due to USA Triathlon sanctioning for Tri CLE, youth participants ages 13-19 will be racing the standard Super Sprint, Sprint, and Olympic courses at the same time as the adult participants. 

Youth racing options are Triathlon & Duathlon. (Aquabike is not available for youth)

Tri CLE is participating in the USAT HS Program to encourage HS and youth athletes in the sport of triathlon. In accordance with this program, there will be separate swim waves for HS/youth athletes at Tri CLE.

Youth participants should be comfortable racing their registered distance and understand road markings, signage, and other race-specific directions. 

Participants will start on land at Edgewater Beach. They will go off into the water 5 people at a time every 8 seconds. The waves within each start distance will be self-seeded.

*Aquabike athletes: once your bike is racked in transition, make your way to the finish line timing mat for your official race time & to receive your finisher medal.

**Challenged athletes will go off at 6:23 AM, prior to the rest of the wave starts
