Simply send an email to [email protected] so we may discuss your situation.  Lake Wildwood is a private gated community so unregistered vehicles will not be permitted access. WetsuitsIf lake water temperatures are below 78 degrees (F) you may wear a wetsuit for the swim portion, otherwise, if water temperature is over 78 degrees (F), you may choose to wear a wetsuit, but you will be ineligible for awards.Access To Race SiteBecause Lake Wildwood is a gated community, participants are unable to access the race site prior to race day.  However, most of the bike course is outside the gated portion and accessible.
