**2026 Bike Course Update**
After discussions with local municipalities, and in response to athlete feedback and suggestions, we have updated our bike course to avoid biker and runner congestion, and guarantee athlete and volunteer safety.
The updated bike course maintains the same loop through English Point Recreation Area, and its stellar views of Hayden Lake. From miles 0.9 - 2.5, participants will head up Maple Avenue rather than up Strahorn Avenue.
The updated bike course adds ~1 mile biking distance (now 21.7 km / 13.5 mi), and has been **reviewed and approved by USAT.**
A special thank you to all who provided input and feedback on this course update!
