The Vineman Ironman 70.3 Triathlon will be held on July 19th, 2009 in Sonoma County, California (about one hour north of San Francisco). The event consists of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run. The point-to-point event begins at Johnsons Beach in Guerneville and takes entrants past literally hundreds of vineyards and dozens of wineries before it finishes up in at Windsor High School (just north of Santa Rosa). The course is a tour of Sonoma County's beautiful wine country, passing through four different grape growing regions: the Russian River Region, the Dry Creek Valley, the Alexander Valley, and Chalk Hill.
