The swim is in the calm and clear waters of Absegami Lake with the start on a well maintained and clean beach area. The water temperature has always been in the upper sixties for either the spring or the fall event. (We strongly recommend you wear a wetsuit!) The bike course is primarily right turns on country roads with wide shoulders. The mile run course is a fast flat run with lots of shade and on the roads and paths of the campground area of the Bass River State Park.
