Auburn Triathlon - Half-Iron, Sprint and Duathlon

World's Toughest Half athletes will enjoy four aid stations on the 56-mile bike route. Sprint Tri cyclists: although you pass by the first aid station, we have no aid planned for Sprint cyclists. Take a bottle in an emergency but plan to carry your support for 36k ride and leave the aid for long course athletes. Bike aid stations will feature real bike water bottles filled with ice cold water and Cytomax energy drink. We will also have energy gels available.
