General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: The Watermans Half is in Rock Hall, MD. Nestled on the edge of the Eastern Shore of Maryland in picturesque Kent County. Only 18 miles from Baltimore ?as the fish swims? (put your bike rack on a boat!) or 90 miles from Philadelphia, Rock Hall is one of the friendliest, most laid back towns anywhere?and is full of history. George Washington took the Annapolis Ferry to Rock Hall nearly ten times before heading to Philly on horseback to work out America?s Independence! The swim takes place in Rock Hall Harbor on the Chesapeake Bay, protecting athletes from any serious wind or chop. The bike course is a triathlete?s dream. Wide open ribbons of pavement with wide shoulders throughout most of the course take athletes though a huge expanse of countryside ? this course is flat through mile 15 then rolling the rest of the way! The run course is completely pancake flat and takes athletes through the quaint neighborhoods and sideroads of Rock Hall, MD. There will be 3 water bottle hand-offs on the bike and a minimum of 1 aid station per mile on the run course.
Water Temperature: You can monitor the approximate water temperature in Rock Hall Harbor via the NOAA buoy just offshore HERE.
