(56 miles)
The 56-mile bike course will take triathletes through the scenic northern Berrien and eastern Van Buren counties in southwest Michigan.
This area is part of the Michigan “fruit belt” and includes numerous blueberry, strawberry and raspberry farms as well as vineyards and orchards.
The course roadways are mostly asphalt, in good condition with some rolling hills throughout.
