Leg 1: Pedal
2.3 Mile Downhill Race to the Brandywine
The crew of Northbrook Canoe Company will assist you and a partner into a canoe for a refreshing 2.3 mile paddle along the Brandywine. The water level of the Brandywine determines the challenge of the next 2.3 miles and the pros from Northbrook Canoe Company are on hand to assist along the way.
Leg 2: Paddle
2.3 Mile Two-Person Canoe Race on the Brandywine River
Back on land, participants walk briskly for 2.4 miles starting on a paved surface that leads to a lush forest path. Warning! Race Marshals will disqualify runners.
Leg 3: Pace
2.4 Mile Race Walk Through the Back Trails of Chester County
Everyone is back on their bicycles and pushing hard for the finish line. The challenge of this final leg is the uphill ride on Northbrook Road, with the firehouse Finish Line just around the corner. Finishers then join family and friends for a well-deserved pat on the back, refreshments and entertainment at the Triathlon Festival.
