Description
2011 Event date will be announced by December 1, 2010
The specific date and time for online registration for the 2011 event will also be announced on December 1, 2010.
The Kinetic Half is the first half-Iron distance event of the season in the mid-Atlantic region and is staged out of beautiful Lake Anna State Park. The swim and bike are 2 loops and the run is a 3 loop course that brings athletes through the race site 3 times for an extremely exciting and spectator friendly day! The water temperature was 67F in 2009 and we expect it to be about the same in 2010.. The bike course is outstanding with a mix of rolling and flat with almost all right hand turns on good pavement. There are 3 water bottle handoffs on the course with both HEED and water available. The run course is 3 loops through the park and campgrounds and is all on pavement with rolling terrain. There are 4 aid stations on each loop of the run course with each fully stocked with the following: water, energy drink, flat cola, Hammergel, E-Caps, oranges, salty snack mix and a portajon. There are also misting tents available at 2 locations on the course so you can cool off as needed 6 times during the run.
Be sure to stick around after the race for the best Italian food in town provided by Roma's as well as check out the latest and greatest triathlon gear in the expo tent.
Stay at the park, there are multiple campsites and camp/cabin options available. Click HERE to grab a campsite while they are still available. With the perfect temperatures of early May this is a great time to camp out.
