Parking and What to Expect on Race Day:

This season bricks and time trials will take place at the North Amherst Fire Company & Park, located at the corner of Tonawanda Creek Road (South) and Campbell Blvd (rte 270). The address is 2200 Tonawanda Creek, Amherst NY 14228.

On-site sign-in, number assignment, and transition area set-up takes place between 5:45pm – 6:25pm.  The timed brick events start promptly at 6:30pm.  It is crucial that we start on time to ensure that we finish before dusk.  If you arrive late, there is a good chance that you will still be able to do the timed event; however you will have to wait until after everyone else has started so that the volunteers can check you in and get you started, without delaying the start of everyone else.  There will be official time keepers at these events, and the results will be posted afterwards.  The time keepers will also keep an eye on everything in the transition area.  Members are also welcomed to participate in the workouts even if they do not want to be timed and do not want to have their results recorded and posted.

The Northtown bricks and time trials take place at the North Amherst Fire Company & Park, located at the corner of Tonawanda Creek Road (South) and Campbell Blvd (rte 270).  The exact address is 2200 Tonawanda Creek, Amherst NY 14228.  It is crucial that you park on the West side of the fire hall, and not the East side (where the baseball diamond is), because the ambulance exists from the East side.  The fire hall is a prime location for the brick workouts because there is ample parking, decent roads to bike on, and a very nice paved running path.  The terrain is very flat. Use the interactive map below to familiarize yourself with the location, bike, and run courses.

Course:

The BTC uses 2 laps of a 6.25-mile course to make the full 12.5 miles (20km) covering Tonawanda Creek and North Tonawanda Creek Roads
