Logistics and rules
The event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon. Competitors must present photo ID and must be current USAT members or purchase a one-day USAT permit. Adult competitors must pick up their own packet; with proper identification an adult may pick up for a minor. The organizer has a no refund and no transfer policy.
Team competition is for three-person teams in male, female, and coed divisions. Team results are the combined times of the three team members; this is not a relay. Team members remain eligible for individual overall and age group awards. Awards are three deep by age group and include Athena and Clydesdale divisions, masters and grand masters categories. Race timing for running events uses gun time; triathlon events use chip time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
