Look for the check in tent on the southside of the Winery near Irish Road. Parking will be on the east side of the winery. You can use the restrooms inside the winery as well as the outside porta-potties. Safety is always a concern so remember to follow the rules of the road. Run on the left side and bike on the right side. We will have Ham Radio operators patrolling the roads and helping with local traffic if any. We don't expect to see many cars along the route because there are only a few homes out there. Start time for the 5K is 8:30 am for all participants. The route is a flat, out and back on Irish Rd. You are chipped timed so line up according to your intended pace and your time starts when you cross the start line. When you are finished head down to the winery for some snacks after you collect your finisher's medal. There will be some breakfast food for sale as well. So your friends and family can eat too. Biathletes after finishing your (1M for the mini) 5K lap turn towards the bike corral near the finish line. Your transition time starts when you cross the finish line. Remember you must walk your bike out of the corral and have your helmet on before you can leave the corral. Your transition time ends and bike lap starts when you cross the start/finish line going east on Irish Road. Full Biathlon: After completing your first loop you will be going across the finish line again so we can capture your split time. Your final time is the sum of all your laps
