We highly recommend that all participants purchase an annual USAT license rather than a single day license. The cost is $39 and provides the holder with insurance for all USAT sanctioned events for an entire year. It also comes with many other benefits and coupons for on-line purchases. See www.usatriathlon.org for more information. Fees from a single one-day license may be applied to the purchase of an annual license, so keep your receipt.

Directions:
Take I-75 to the Royal Palm Blvd exit.  Turn right at the first stoplight (Weston Road).  Continue on Weston Road until it ends at Markham Park.

Course Description:
Markham is well known for its technical mountain biking trails, but it is an excellent place to road ride as well.    We will be doing 3 laps on the bike inside the park, 3.33 miles each.

The run course is a scenic loop that runs around the southern lake.
