Travel to the island commonly uses Washington State Ferries from Anacortes; vehicle reservations are recommended. Ferry terminals and driving details are provided for planning.
Mandatory race items include race-provided swim caps, a race bib, and a foldable cup, plus athlete-provided wetsuit, whistle, compression bandage, and a tether or tow line. Water stops supply plain water and Precision Hydration electrolyte water; improper disposal of trash on course leads to disqualification. Awards are given to top three teams and top three solos in each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
