Organiser's description
Group preview of the swim and bike courses for the Heart Of A Warrior Triathlon. The preview event is free. Participants may swim, or bike, or both swim and bike.
Preview to take place on Saturday 08 April, 2023.
The purpose of the preview is to allow a safe scouting of the swim and bike courses in non-race conditions, with a group. The preview is not a race, and participants may complete all or only part of the courses. The preview organizers can not communicate every detail nor foresee every hazard, so participants are asked to look at the race courses and maps https://runsignup.com/Race/TheHeartofAWarriorTriathlonsSUPERYakAdventure/Page-2 PRIOR to arrival. Participants should bring all equipment, clothing, gear, nutrition and hydration they may need. Participants are responsible for their own fitness and preparedness to maintain a safe speed on the roads, ride safely in a group and safely swim in open water.
All preview attendees are required to register for this preview (not the race) prior to participation in the preview.
All attendees will be required to be a member of, or join, the LB Endurance CLUB, a USAT-registered club, for the purpose of extending liability insurance and enhancing communication. Joining LB Endurance Club does not preclude membership in other USAT-registered clubs, nor does it extend further benefits. Club membership is FREE and lasts the calendar year (so you are all set for other previews and LB Endurance-led events). As you complete Preview registration, you will be prompted to join LB Endurance Club if you are not already a member. Thank you!
