  • Relay Teams – 2 or 3 Members

    Options: Swim, Bike, Run or Run, Bike, Run

    Registration

    • Relay teams are available for Triathlon and Duathlon (not Aquabike).

    • Team Setup: One person (team captain) registers themselves and pays the full team entry, establishing the team by name.

    • Teammates: After the captain registers, other members join the team at no cost by selecting the team from the “Join Team” dropdown during registration.

    Packet Pickup

    • One team member may pick up the entire team packet.

    • Follow the standard procedures for picking up packets for others.

    • Each team receives one of each item, except cycling jerseys and finisher medals—each member receives their own.

    • See the [Packet Pickup Page] for details.

    Transition

    • Relay teams rack bikes and set up gear like all other participants.

    • Teams may enter and exit transition freely throughout the morning, even when closed to others.

    Timing Chip

    • Each team gets one chip, placed on the bike rack next to your spot.

    • Chip Flow:

      1. Swimmer attaches chip to left ankle, completes swim, then runs to transition to swap with biker.

      2. Biker completes ride, swaps chip back to swimmer or runner.

    • Always keep the chip on the left ankle, especially during the bike leg, to avoid damage from the crank.

    Finisher Medals

    • The runner collects all team medals at the finish line and distributes them post-race.

  • 2 mi Run • 15 mi Bike • 3.1 mi Run (No Swim)

    • The first 2 mi run is shorter and follows a different course than the final 3.1 mi run.

    • Duathletes follow the same rules and procedures as individual triathletes.

    • Start: Just outside transition on a 2 mi out-and-back course along the dike.

    • Final Run: 3.1 mi course is the same as the triathlon finish.

    • All duathletes receive a finisher medal, post-race food and drinks, and packet pickup items (except swim cap).

    • Awards are given to the overall top male and female duathletes.

  • 500 m Swim • 15 mi Bike (No Run)

    • Aquabikers follow the same rules and procedures as individual triathletes.

    • Finish: Event ends after the bike when participants dismount and cross the Bike-In timing mat in transition.

    • Participants may immediately pack up all gear from transition. Notify volunteers if needed.

    • Claim your finisher medal and enjoy post-race food and drinks.

    • Awards are given to the overall top male and female Aquabikers.

    • Packet pickup includes the same items as other athletes, except the run bib.

    • Timing Chip: Return the chip and ankle strap to the timer at the finish line when claiming your medal.
