"This was my 3rd Tri, Tri Again and it is by far the most fun
event that comes around on my schedule. Aside from all the
nature, my favorite part is your help. They are all friendly and
glad to see us coming down the trail. This year I stopped for
a drink and had to laugh at the girls climbing up the tree
stand. Next year I hope to be a little better trained and edge
for that elusive 5th loop. Thanks a bunch!"

Course Description: There will be FOUR hydration stations on the course:
TWO, on the course, and TWO located at the course’s transition area.
This 4.5 mile trail course takes place entirely on private land in beautiful central Pennsylvania. The run is a hair
over 2 miles, beginning with an uphill ascent that can only be described as grueling, continues with rolling,
mountainous ridge trails, offering scenic views through pine, hardwood, and scrub brush forests. NO iPods!
The trail run ends (a half mile past the cliff climb) at the transition area where it started, where you will hop on to
your mountain bike, and prepare for two and a quarter miles of some of the craziest bike trail you’ve ever been
on. Helmets MUST be worn by ALL participants! I hope your mind can keep your horse legs going up the hills,
and be able to brake in time before crashing into the pine forest near the end of the bike course. 2011
participants will break in the 21 newly added corner banks, dirt ramps, and landing areas...yield to deer and
bears, please. Not mentally drained yet? Once done with your little bike ride, you’re now back at the transition
area. Now you’ve got a simple little 150 yard swim (75yds out and back) in a large pond, totalling 150 yards of
refreshing relief.
Once out of the water, you’ll get a rubber bracelet on your arm, proving that you have successfully completed the
mini-triathlon….but you’ve only just begun. Now, get your trail shoes back on and do it all again….and again….
and again….as many as you can do in the 3 hour time frame, each time receiving another bracelet on your arm,
proving your strength, toughness, and courage. Each “loop” (run, bike, swim) must be started on the minute, by
the starter near the transition area so that each loop may be timed. As long as you’ve started your last loop
before noon, you may take the time necessary to finish your final tri loop. If you’re not tough enough to keep
going continuously, you may take breaks between loops, and then see the starter to begin again, when ready.
