Participants must hold a current provincial triathlon membership (Triathlon Alberta or equivalent); a one-event day membership is available. Race packages are picked up at the lake the day before the event. The community allows lake training the week before the race with a signed waiver and a swim buoy.
Safety measures include lifeguards, motorized boat patrols and mandatory swim caps during the swim. Wetsuit rules and water temperature limits are specified; the swim may be canceled or converted to a duathlon under certain conditions. An air quality protocol is in place and the event can be canceled if the index exceeds the set threshold. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
