SWIM COURSE INFORMATION -

The HulaMan swim course is a clockwise loop held at Henry Hagg Lakes boat ramp. Waves are separated by age groups [with a limited field of 100], the time gap and order of which will be determined by the size of field registered. An elite/pro wave will kick-off the event and consist of those who pre-register and elect to be included in the first wave. Swimmers will keep the swim buoys on their right-hand side for the entire swim. The swim is anticipated to be in the mid to upper 70's, and will be monitored by lifeguards in kayaks as well as emergency rescue in motorized boats.

For your safety, and the necessary permitting of this event, the swim course will remain open for one-hour and thirty minutes after the last wave of swimmers begins. Those unable to finish the swim will be encouraged to continue the event following the last swimmers exit on to the bike course.

BIKE COURSE INFORMATION -

Don't let the term Valley fool you, Washington County offers its share of challenges to compliment this remarkably scenic course. Its many rolling hills promise to be as abundant as its views. Beginning at Henry Hagg Lake, the HULA HALF BIKE COURSE features a couple of clockwise loops and then an exit past the dam, ending downtown Forest Grove at Pacific University's Lincoln Park.

The course will be monitored and USAT rules, drafting and safety related violations will be strictly enforced. Technical assistance will be provided at T1 via Athletes Lounge and on course via a one time reverse sweep and sag vehicle following the last biker.

Two Water bottle exchanges will be provided on the course. To get a new bottle you must move to the far right shoulder of the marked area, discard a bottle and slow to a max of 15mph to receive a bottle from a volunteer. Please keep the course clean and the area residents happy by discarding your trash (gel packets, water bottles, banana peels, cups, etc.) at the provided aid stations.

The Hula Sprint Bike Course is 16 miles exiting the swim to the right following Hagg lake to its exit and then out of the park following a few miles of the Hula Half Course before turning right away from the course and heading down town. This course has just a few rolling hills in Hagg Lake Park and then its flat into Forest Grove. HULA SPRINT BIKE COURSE

RUN COURSE INFORMATION -

The HulaMan 13.1 mile HULA HALF RUN COURSE is a new course for 2009. We're going to start and finish in Forest Grove at Lincoln Park and the course is an out and back. Aid stations are provided at each mile on the run course and will be serving electrolyte, water and nutritional replenishment provided by our generous sponsors. The run course will be open for eight hours after the event begins, at which time the course will be opened to regular traffic. Escorts will be provided to those able to finish the course in less than 10 hours; all others will be picked up and brought to the finish.

The Hula Sprint Run course will follow the same route as the Hula Half except of course will have its turn around 1.6 miles into the run. HULA SPRINT RUN COURSE

Last but not Least, the reason to stay the Course:

- THE LUAU

The HulaMan will feature a post race Luau complete with a professionally prepared Hawaiian Style feast, post race spirits, and live entertainment. Plan to make a day of it and invite your family and friends to celebrate in your victory, guest passes are available via on-line registration and will be available race weekend on a first come basis.

Awards / Premiums -

Awards will be provided in the traditional 5 year USAT age groups, beginning at 19 and under, 20-24, 25-29, etc. ending at 70+. All participants will receive a commemorative finisher's award.

This event will be chip timed with results available in real-time on monitors at the finish line. The Awards Ceremony [pending USAT penalties] will be at 3:00PM, held in conjunction with the Luau.
