Brett Robinson Alabama Coastal Triathlon

The swim is conducted as a time trial with racers assigned start order by estimated swim time and entering the water approximately every 3 seconds. Local water safety groups will manage the swim with rescue support. If conditions make the water unsafe, the swim will be replaced by a run and the event converted to a duathlon. Athletes should register by the Wednesday night before the race to receive an earlier swim order; late registrants will start toward the rear.
Wetsuit use follows USAT rules. Permitted: 60.7°F to 78°F (16°C to 25.5°C). Mandatory: 60.6°F and below (15.9°C and below). Allowed: 78.1°F to 84°F (25.6°C to 28.8°C) with the note that wearing a wetsuit at or above 78.0°F disqualifies results from rankings and Age Group awards. Prohibited: 84.1°F and above (28.9°C and above).
The bike segment uses the "Tri-It-On" 12.4 mile out-and-back on W. Beach Blvd. The Olympic bike is two loops of that course. A bike mount and dismount line is in place; athletes walk bikes from their rack to the mount line and walk them back after dismounting. Transition areas are organized by race number and marked by row.
The run is an out-and-back on E. Beach Blvd east of The Hangout. The sprint run is 2 miles and the Olympic run is 6 miles; aid stations with water and energy drinks are provided at roughly one mile intervals. Course, transition, and parking maps are provided for participants.
Race formats include full triathlon, swim‑bike, bike‑run, and relay teams of two or three people. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
