WHAT ARE THE CUT-OFF TIMES?
The Sprint distance events will have 3 hours and the Olympic distance events will have 5 hours for participants to cross the finish line.
WHY IS THERE NO RAIN DATE?
Triathlons are expensive and complex events to organize, involving local permits, police, support and coordination. Doing this type of event is very difficult and we are permitted for one date only.

HOW DOES THE RELAY TEAM WORK?
All relay team members need to be body marked. The biker and the runner need to wear the team bib-you will each get one. The timing chip is passed to each member of the team at the bike rack. You will be allowed back into the transition area once the relay swim wave has started.
I HAVE NEVER DONE A TRIATHLON BEFORE, WHAT WAVE SHOULD I BE IN?
