Our first swim heat will begin at 12:30PM, and heats will continue until 6:30PM. To maximize social distancing and minimize the number of racers on site, there will be a limited number of racers per heat. Swimmers may be required to share a lane with another swimmer.
For those racing in the cycling portion, you may complete this leg on your own. You may complete our prescribed course, or you may complete the distance on your own bike trainer on deck.
For those racing in the running portion, you can expect to self report your times.

All volunteers and racers must maintain a minimum of 6' spacing between each other. It is recommended to wear a mask at all times in the vicinity of others, with the obvious exception of when you are swimming. Masks are also not required when racing, but should be put back on after your race is completed. There will be hand sanitizer on site, but we recommend bringing your own, in addition to bringing your own food and drinks. We will not have much on site for general use, but will reserve materials for an emergency. Anything you need, please bring it from home! If you have a fever or any flu-like symptoms, please do not come to race.
