IMPORTANT RACE INFORMATION: Remember, although this triathlon is USAT (USA-Triathlon) certified, this is meant to be FUN. Your times will be recorded, but for most of you winning should not be the ultimate goal finishing should be. As you participate in this triathlon in years to come, you will be able to measure your success. Enjoy the experience and excitement of something new and encourage your fellow triathletes as you see them on the course. USAT rules, regulations, and safety procedures will be in force for this event. PLEASE NOTE THAT DIVISION AND AGE GROUP ARE DETERMINED BY THE YEAR THE YOUNGSTER WAS BORN, NOT THEIR AGE ON DATE OF EVENT.

YOUR START TIME IS BASED ON YOUR AGE GROUP: However, each participant will be timed separately based on their start and finish time times are tracked automatically. We will start the Older Kids Race - Age 12-14 (BORN 2012 2014) first (usually with 10-15 seconds separation between kids). There will be a short break while we transition from the longer course to the shorter course for the next group. The next wave will be the Kids Age 9-11 (BORN 2015-2017), followed by the youngest Kids Age 5-8 (BORN 2018-2021). The last wave is the Tri4Fun Category, where Parents can participate with their children. They use the short course and are not timed or scored. Remember, the swim is the first part of the race. Keep in mind that each participant is timed separately (based on their start time) so the order in which they finish has nothing to do with their place of finish. The time in which they complete the entire course is their individual time.
