Course Frequently Asked Questions:
How long is the course open?
The course remains open until the final participant finishes.
Can I rest on the kayak or other boat during the swim?
Yes, you may rest on the kayak or other appropriate boat, but the kayak or boat cannot help you advance in the water.
Is the swim portion a time trial start or mass swim start?
All participants will start 2-3 at a time in a time trial start.
Will there be aid stations?
Yes, there will be aid stations on the run course providing water (2 on the sprint distance and 5 on the olympic distance). There will be no aid stations on the bike course so plan to bring your own water on your bike.
Can I run with headphones?
Radios, headphones, MP3 players, iPods, and CD players are NOT permitted on the course. This is for your safety. A violation may result in a variable time penalty. We will have lots of fans cheering, music on the run course and music at the finish line.
What if it rains or there is road construction?
We reserve the right to alter the course distances, delay the start time, or cancel the race entirely in the event of dangerous weather or other unexpected complications. However, we will not cancel the event just because of rain. Refunds will not be given in case of race-day cancellation.
If I am doing the triathlon, does it matter which swim cap I wear?
You are required to wear the swim cap provided to you in your race packet, you may not wear your own or trade with another participant.
Does it matter what type of bike helmet I wear?
CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) certified helmets are required to be worn and buckled for the bike portion of the event and at any other time you are on your bike in the park.
What are some of the most important bike course safety precautions?
Helmets are required to be worn and buckled on the bike course at all times. No exceptions. Drafting on the bike is not permitted. Always stay to the right, except when passing. Please pass on the left. When passing, announce your passing to the rider in front of you (i.e. “I’m on your left!”). Avoid sudden turns and stops. Slow down and put your foot down if needed at the turnaround. You must walk your bike in the transition area until you meet the mount line at the bike-out area. You must dismount your bike before the dismount line / before entering transition at the end of the bike course.
Can I wear a wetsuit while swimming?
Wetsuits may or may not be allowed. We will follow USAT rules on wetsuit usage. As per USAT rules, if the water temperature is 78 degrees Fahrenheit or below then wetsuits ARE allowed. At 78.1 to 83.9 degrees Fahrenheit participants may wear a wetsuit at their own discretion; however, wearing a wetsuit in the temperature range will mean that the athletes are ineligible for awards. At 84 degrees Fahrenheit and above wet suits are NOT permitted – this is for your own safety. Updates regarding wetsuits will be sent the week of the race. You may also view our most current water temp update on the main KCT page.
