Overall Relay Team
All awards must be claimed on race day. We do not mail awards after the event.
INDIVIDUAL: Compete in your age group and race the full sprint distance with an 800m swim, 18mi bike, and 5K run.
OPEN RELAY: Relay teams may consist of 2 or 3 people, completing all 3 legs of the race. Upon entering T1, the swimmer must 'tag' the cyclist, at which point the cyclist may un-rack the bike and exit transition. During T2, the cyclist must rack their bike, then 'tag' the runner, at which point the runner may exit transition. Athletes cannot have a time advantage by having a bike un-racked ahead of the swimmer coming in or begin running before the bike is racked.
