Race Age

Participants will race based on their age on the day of the race.

Estimated Swim Time

Athletes will be placed for the swim start based on their estimated swim time. This will allow the faster swimmers to go first, and keep them from catching the slower swimmers. Please do your best to have an accurate time.

Relays

If you don't like, can't do, or shouldn't do one of the legs of a triathlon; don't worry...Just grab a friend or two and sign up for the Relay. Each relay team member receives the same benefits as if they were a single registration. Relay teams must be in the same age group (ie. 8 & 9 or 5 & under, etc)

Additional Information

All finishers will receive a Finisher Award, as well as awards given to the top 3 in the following age groups: 5 & under, 6 & 7, 8 & 9, 10 & 11, 12 & 13. Training wheels and swim aids are OK for younger riders and swimmers.
