The North Lake Physical Therapy Gator Grinder Triathlon is an excellent introduction for the first-time triathlete, as well as a great early season event for the experienced racer. All proceeds support the Canby Gators Swim Club. Thank you for your support.
Swim
500-yard (20 lengths, 10 laps) pool swim in a 6-lane, 25-yard pool, with up to 4 swimmers per lane. There will be volunteer lap counters. Drafting is permitted. The swim will be seeded by 500-yard swim-time submissions. Heat assignments will be e-mailed by the Thursday before the race. The first heat will be in the water at 7:30 a.m. Check-in at least one hour before your start.
Bike
The one-loop 12-mile bike course is over the beautiful rolling country roads that surround Canby. A bike helmet is mandatory. Drafting is not legal. Volunteers will manage traffic at intersections, but roads will be open to traffic and cyclists will be responsible for their safety.
Run
The 3.1-mile run is mostly on roadways with about one-third on a paved walking trail. The course is flat and fast. Water will be available on the course.
Duathlon (run-bike-run) and Aquabike (swim-bike)
Both variations will follow the same segments as the triathlon course.
Awards
The top 3 male and female individual finishers in each age group will receive ribbons. Additional awards will be awarded to the top overall male and female finishers and the top male and female finishers from Canby, Oregon.
