LOCATION/COURSE: The Seventeenth Annual Breezy Point Triathlon will be held on Sunday, June 1, 2008 at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk, Virginia. The 1k swim is held in a sheltered portion of Willoughby Bay. This is followed by a flat, fast, scenic 20k bike course covering much of the world's largest Naval Base. The race culminates with a 5k run which finishes along the sea wall, providing ample space for spectators. Please click on the "Course Description" link from the home page for course maps and time limits. THE TIME LIMITS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED FOR EACH OF THE SEGMENTS.

Due to security measures in place at Naval Station Norfolk, athletes will not be permitted to access the base on Saturday, May 31stto view the courses.

START TIME: The first wave of the race will start at 8:00 AM with an in-the-water start. Subsequent waves will be started at 4-minute intervals. Waves are based on age and sex, with the actual make-up being determined approximately 4 days before the event. The maximum number of participants per wave will be less than 100.

Due to the amount of time that is required to start all of the participants, some atheltes may be fininshed the race before others have exited the swim. Out of fairness to athletes entering and exiting the transition area and to ensure safety, no one will be allowed into the transition area or be permitted to remove their bikes from the transition area until all athletes have returned from the bike portion of the event.
