The 2nd annual Possum Town Triathlon will be held near the Lock and Dam in Columbus, MS. The transition area and swim will be at the boat ramp area off Wilkins-Wise Road. The 600 yard swim will start in a time trial fashion with each athlete entering the water every 3-5 seconds, and each athlete will start in the order of registration. –{Input GPS Data Here}–

The 600 yard swim starts at the boat ramp, straight out turns east and then back to the ramp. There will be safety personnel in the water. After exiting the water, each athlete will run a short distance to the transition area, which will serve as the bike and run transition.

The 17 mile bike is mostly flat and very fast. Get down into your aero bars and get ready for one of your fastest bike splits ever. There will be volunteers and police on the bike course at each turn. Each athlete will bike out and back to the same transition area. There are some small speed bumps in the parking area, so be careful!!

The 3.3 mile run will be out and back to the finish line. The run is mostly flat, but will be HOT, so hydrate at the aid station, where there will be water and sports drink.

The finish line area will be next to the transition area, where there will be food and refreshments. Remember that this is a USAT sanctioned event, so each athlete should review and know USAT rules and regulations.
