Tri for Preservation 2012 will be dedicated to the life of David A. Aschauer, a distinguished economics professor and devoted family man.

Sprint Triathlon
The Tri for Preservation triathlon consists of a 500-yard ocean swim along the well-protected cove of Crescent Beach. (Wet suits are required). Participants then transition to a 14-mile, rolling bike course past the scenic farmlands and marshlands of Cape Elizabeth [View map here]. The course concludes with a well-marked 3.1-mile run along the shore of Crescent Beach (on a well-maintained fire road) towards Kettle Cove and back along Route 77. [View map here].

Maine Senior Games Qualifier
The Tri for Preservation also plays host to the Maine Senior Games with the triathlon serving as a state-qualifying event for the national competition. Athletes aged 50 as of December 31, 2011 are welcome participants.

Aquabike
The Tri for Preservation Aquabike is ideal for those who want to compete but do not run. The aquabike features the same swim and bike course as the triathlon. The aquabike concludes upon return to the transition area after the bike leg of the race.

Triathlon Relay
Concerned that you might not want to do each leg of the race yourself? Then, form a team and compete with your friends and family! The Tri for Preservation has set aside a number of slots for triathlon teams this year, including a family relay competition.
