FAQ
We "Age Up" (per triathlon sporting standards) so your child will race according the the age they are as of Dec 31, 2017. For example, if your child is now seven and turning eight in November they will be racing as "Age 8" rather than "Age 7"
Parents are not allowed in transition once transition closes before the race, once the last child crosses the finish line we will re-open transition for bike removal.

Swim caps and googles are optional but highly recommended.
