**500 METER LAKE SWIM

The swim will leave from the banks of Lake Wanda. It will be one counter-clockwise 500 meter loop. The water temperature should be between 70-75 degrees. Kayaks will be in the course area to monitor swimmers. Swim caps will be required.


**8.5 mile OFF-ROAD MOUNTAIN BIKE


The bike ride will be cross-country on a mixture of hilly terrain, some gravel road, some wide paths on golf cart trails through the woods and some single tracks. There are no paved roads, if it's wet, there may be some mud spots. There are a few small hills and in the woods some parts of the course are technical. The complete ride will be done on the beautiful property of the Bar-S, which at one time was a cattle ranch, that still consists of 400 acres.

**5 KILOMETER XC TRAIL RUN

This course is the same as it is for the Take Pride in Your Hide 5k XC Run & Walk that takes place the last Saturday of July every year, which is definitely cross-country.
The 5 kilometer run starts by the huge old oak on the main gravel road by the clubhouse, then turns left onto wide cool trails through the woods, then down by the creek, up through the meadow of owner cabins, then left again on the gravel road, then a quick left turn to the trail, then through a grassy setting and then a right turn on the main gravel road, then turn left before the clubhouse and go down by Lake Wanda and then run like a "hare" to the finish line. You will have now become a Bare Hare Sprint Triathlon finisher of the only Bare triathlon of it's kind.
