This is the fourth running of the Route 66 Triathlon in El Reno, OK. Route 66 is an International distance event featuring an open water swim in Lake El Reno, biking down the original Mother Road and a 2-loop out and back run by Lake El Reno. Route 66 Triathlon will be held during El Reno's Small Town Weekend, June 1-3 at Adams Park. This festival includes a classic car show, cruisin' Route 66, and the State's only legal "burnout" along with other family activites.
ROUTE 66 TRIATHLON
The swim will be in a clockwise triangle, mass start from the beach. Lake temperature will probably be in the mid 70's, so wetsuits should be permitted. But, as always, that's a game-time call.
The bike is an out and back course, the majority being on Route 66. The first 8 miles is relatively flat, miles 8 through 16 have some hills and then the final 8 miles flattens out for the return to transition area.
The run is a fast and flat 2-loop out and back course. Food, drinks and massage therapists will be on hand those who tackle Route 66 Triathlon.
