The annual Derby City TRIfecta will be held at the Louisville Rowing Club located in downtown Louisville, KY. The course is one of the fastest, yet safest, in the region. The swim will take place in the Ohio River behind Towhead Island. The bike segment will take athletes on a scenic out and back loop down River Road. The run segment will consist of a flat loop course through downtown Louisville. This will be a USA Triathlon Sanctioned event with certified officials for enhanced safety.
A portion of the proceeds will go the local charities: The Adaptive Rowing program at the Louisville Rowing Club and Friends of Metro Animal Services Louisville.
