The course starts with a pool swim at McNaughton Pool. The bike and run courses are closed to car traffic with volunteers and off duty police officers lining the course to ensure safety. EMS is present at the finish line. We have included an optional parent’s mini tri that will start after the kids’ race. We will combine the child’s race time with his/her parent’s time for a team family time. Every racer will receive a finisher’s medal. Trophies will be awarded to the top three finishers in each age group for boys and girls as well as for family team awards. Post-race food, face painting, and awards will follow the race in the playground area.
Transition opens at 5:45 am. Body marking and safety inspections will take place before the athlete enters the transition area.
Every athlete must have a sticker on their bike from Jack and Adams, Bicycle Sport Shop or Lucky Spoke indicating that their bike has been checked for safety and is the proper size. Please take your child and their bike and helmet to one of these locations for inspection. Helmets are required and will also be checked for proper size and fit. We reserve the right to pull an athlete from the race due to an unsafe or improperly sized bike or helmet.
Mandatory pre-race meeting begins at 6:45 am inside the pool area. Transition closes to all racers at 6:45 am sharp. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to the race site, pick up your timing chip, and set up your transition area. No spectators will be allowed in the transition area during the race. The swim will be a staggered start with swimmers entering the water every 10 seconds according to their estimated swim times.
In case of inclement weather please check our website for information. We will have a 2 hour postponement contingency due to bad weather. The race course may be altered due to unsafe conditions. There will be no refunds.
All athletes must be a member of USAT and will be required to provide a USAT membership card along with photo ID at packet pickup. You may purchase a USAT membership at packet pickup or online at www.usatriathlon.org (print out a card and bring it with you!) You may purchase a one day membership. You may not pick up another racer’s packet except for your child’s. No exceptions! This is USAT’s rule not ours! A parent/guardian will be required to sign a USAT waiver for his/her child.
