Morgantown, WV - The Wells Fargo Advisors Triathlon and Duathlon bike courses are being rerouted due to a massive landslide.
The Wells Fargo Advisors Mountaineer Triathlon and Duathlon bike courses will now be routed south for the first time ever for this event via route 119 to Smithtown Rd (CTY Rd 73).
"With this change the bike course for all the events have just gotten tougher. It adds a large hill at the beginning and at the end of all bike courses. However, it does add some really nice scenery and gives participants a chance to ride by some WVU landmarks". Shannon Kurek, Race Director
Additionally the schedule for the weekend is going to change with the Women's Only Triathlon being moved to Sunday, along with the rest of the events. This event will now start after the final sprint wave at 7:40am.
