SET UP AS YOU can see on the map above there are MANY turns on the Bike and Run Course. When you are a Bike/Run Course Pointer you have the opportunity to help the athletes know what is coming up on the course. These athletes are so focused on just being able to keep moving forward that they may not realize that they have a turn coming up - really! You being out there is a tremendous help to them!
