You will have a certain color bib pertaining to what race you are participating in.

If you lose your bib or need a new one issued for any reason, there will be a $5 fee assessed.

TRIATHLON PARTICIPANTS ONLY

We will use the chip to identify all individual and team triathletes.

INDIVIDUAL TRIATHLETES

In addition to a chip, triathletes will be given a bib race number that must be worn during the RUN PORTION.

This is important to help volunteers and staff know who is participating in the race, and for emergency purposes.

TEAM TRIATHLETES

Triathlete teams must pass their chip from person to person.

RACE SHIRTS

The first 350 participants will be guaranteed a T-Shirt

RULES

For safety reasons, pets and headsets of any kind are not permitted.

Absolutely no headsets of any kind are allowed.
If you are found with a headset on, you will not get a finishing time!
