Things You Need To Know About Rock Hall Triathlon

By Beryl Dalton


Triathlon is a series of successive sports challenge. From the name itself, there are three marathons involved in the event, usually swimming, running, and cycling. This is a test to the endurance and stamina of the participants as well as their patience and perseverance to finish the entire course. Often, the management and organizers of events like this choose beautiful spots.

Rock Hall is a small town in Maryland, with very friendly residences. Rock Hall triathlon is one of the best known sports events in history. Specifically, the triathlon course is somewhere along the Kent County. The place is also very memorable to Americans because according to history books, George Washington went to Rock Hall via Annapolis Ferry. He went around about ten times before he went to Philadelphia through horseback. He did all this during the Independence Day.

The first sport event is swimming which happens on the Chesapeake Bay at the Rock Hall Harbor. The location is chosen because it is not too windy nor too wavy. They have to prioritize the safety of the contenders. Some other bays are too windy which may endanger the lives of the triathletes.

The next challenge is biking, which is more like a treat than a challenge to triathletes. This is one of the most ideal biking course in the world because the entire course is really flat and plain, like as flat as a thin pizza crust. The beautiful views of nature adds to the treat they will experience while on the course.

After which, the athletes are set to run a long marathon where they can also view spectacular places, friendly towns, and clean side roads. The run course is about two loops for International level and one loop for the Sprint level. They organize mostly International Distance, so athletes get to run two loops.

One hour is the limit for the swimming event, three hours for biking, and three hours and thirty minutes for the first lap of the run. They will have to go through two loops because it is an International level. If it is only Sprint level, the runners will have to run only one loop. As a general rule, they will not advance if they cannot finish the respective courses at the required time limit.

The triathlon management have posts in different designated locations. The medical personnel will also be there, who will make the decision to let athletes discontinue if they are deemed unfit or unhealthy to finish the entire course. In addition, the race will be televised with different prestigious media networks covering it. One of the most awaited race category is the Aqua bike.

May thirtieth is the date to save for triathlon enthusiasts and spectators. That is a Saturday at eight in the morning. One thousand five hundred meters of swimming course need to be raced by the athletes, twenty four point four miles for the cycling, and ten thousand meters for the running part.

For sure, many will register to join the sports event. International athletes will once again gather at this small yet very welcoming town. Like the previous years, there will be a lot of tourists coming to the place not only to check out the triathlon event but also to marvel at the amazing Rock Hall scenery.
