The camp will begin with on Friday afternoon, August 7 at 12 pm. This session will begin at the half iron T1/T2 area. This session could be a river swim, a ride, a run or possibly all three so be ready. Details will be finalized in the coming months.

We have changed things again for this year to enhance your weekend experience as well as to collaborate with two other events the same weekend. Our camp and these events take a lot volunteers to ensure your safety and enjoyment so us working together increases the quality of all our events.

Our camp is partnering with GatorFest Augusta and TriAugusta Triathlon Club Ride for a Reason. These partnerships will provide you as realistic race conditions as possible by having in water divers and on water kayakers for the swim and attended aid stations along the bike route.

Saturday morning the GatorFest Augusta will provide you a chance to swim the Savannah River at distances of 1.2 mile or 3.5 miles. The 1.2 mile swim option will be the half iron Augusta swim race route.

Saturday morning shortly following the swim the coaches and volunteers for Tri Coach Georgia will lead you on a run of the half iron Augusta run race route with your option being one or two laps of the run course. We will then gather to get valuable training, recovery and rehab information from our partners at Peak Rehabilitation, Fitness and Performance. Our coaches will also review with you the race strategies for the course as well as insider information about where to stay, park and spectate plus our favorite spots to dine and socialize with other athletes during the race weekend.

Sunday morning the TriAugusta Triathlon Club Ride for a Reason will provide you a fully supported ride of the half iron 70.3 Augusta bike race route.

Expect the weekend training camp to be hot. 95+ temps and >90% humidity is the usual weather for mid August in Augusta so begin your acclimatization now. Get to Augusta hydrated and make every effort to stay topped off so you can enjoy the training.

The details of the camp will be continually updated here. Also, follow Tri Coach Georgia on Facebook and Twitter @TriCoachGa to stay informed with updates that may have not made it to the event site.

We are working hard to get the courses and the weekend events ready for you. Below is the tentative agenda for the weekend and a final agenda with specfic details will come to you a week before your arrival to Augusta.
