Important Protocol Reminders
- Safety for athletes, staff, and volunteers will continue to be our top priority. Current social distancing measures will be in effect.
- Bike transition area for ages 7 & up will be located at the larger parking lot northwest of pool area. Ages 5 & 6 transition area will be north of the pool.
- Staff will not be assisting swimmers in the pool. If parents anticipate that their child may need assistance, parents are encouraged to be in the pool with their child (these will be the ONLY parents allowed in the pool area). If a child has an unexpected challenge in the pool, our staff will jump in and remove the child, resulting in DNF for the swim portion. The child may then continue to the transition area to complete the other disciplines of the race.
