Race operations notes: timing chips must be worn on the left ankle, returned at the finish, and lost or unreturned chips will be charged. USAT membership is required either as an annual member or via a one day membership. There is a park entry fee to access Lake Pleasant Regional Park.
Course details: swim waves are rolling starts except for specific conference and kayak/SUP waves. Bike is an out and back with sprint two loops and Olympic four loops; athletes must self support on the bike as there are no bike water stations. Run is one loop for sprint and two loops for Olympic with water at turnaround points. Transition is at the east and west ends; the ramp and transition surface are rough so athletes may leave footwear at the swim exit if preferred.
Wetsuit use follows USAT temperature rules and may affect award eligibility. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
