The SavageMan 70.0 Triathlon Run Course
The SavageMan 70.0 Triathlon run course is a scenic 13.1 mile double loop course that runs along the shores of Deep Creek Lake, through the expansive State Park campgrounds, and along lakeside roads.
Eleven of the 13.1 miles are on paved roads with the remainder on smooth gravel roads.
While not as savage as the bike course, the SavageMan 70.0 Triathlon run course is far from easy with tough hills through the campground and a challenging climb to the turnaround on the Thayerville Fire Tower Road.
The SavageMan 70.0 Triathlon Run Course in detail:
The run course exits the south end of the transition area and runs along a well-packed gravel road past the public beach and behind the Deep Creek State Park Discovery Center. Runners then take a right on State Park Rd and quickly left onto Brant Rd. After a turnaround on Brant Rd, runners head into the State Park campgrounds for a full circumnavigation of the campgrounds and return to State Park Rd.
A two mile jaunt on State Park Rd leads to a 1/4 mile climb up Thayerville Fire Tower Road and a turnaround. Runners return to State Park Rd and down Meadow Mountain Lane and re-enter the State Park past the public boat ramps and along a well-packed gravel road to complete the loop. After the second loop runners become a SavageMan at the finish line in the open grassy area along the lake next to transition area.
Aid stations are available every 1 - 1.5 miles with water, energy gel, energy drink, salt tablets, pretzel, and Coke.
