GREAT OHIO RIVER SWIM MAP

Join The Ohio River Way and swim the Ohio River in the Third Annual Great Ohio River Swim.

On Saturday morning, July 24, 2010 at 7:30am athletes will again enter the Ohio River for the biggest and only open water swim competition in the Ohio River.

The course starts at the upstream end of the Serpentine Wall, swims directly across the Ohio River to Kentucky and then angles back to finish at Public Landing.  The distance is just under 900 meters.

YOU MAY REGISTER ON RACE MORNING FOR THE GREAT OHIO RIVER SWIM.

On site check-in will begin on Saturday, July 24 at  6:30 a.m. at the finish line at Public Landing.  Registration and check in will close at 7:15am.     The swim will begin at 7:30 a.m. 

There will be FREE parking on the Public Landing for Saturday morning only (remember there is no parking at Public Landing on triathlon morning). 

The Great Ohio River Swim Clinic will take place at 7:00am at the Serpentine Wall.  Come on down and learn some tips about open water swimming.

Once again, the Ohio will be closed to barge and power boat traffic.  The swim will be timed.  Awards will be given to the winners by class.

Go with the flow!  We look forward to seeing you on July 24th!

This is a USA Triathlon sanctioned open water swim.  You must be a member of USA Triathlon or purchase a one day insurance license fee for $10.  You can pay the fee as part of your entry.
