Azalea Sprint Triathlon

The swim is a 300-yard pool swim held in the UNCW Natatorium.
Athletes will start on one side of the pool and “snake” up and down each lane, progressing toward the opposite end.
Because this is a pool swim, all participants must submit an estimated 100-yard swim time during registration.
These times are used for seeding, so it is important to be as accurate as possible.
Submitting a time that is too fast may result in faster swimmers needing to pass you, while submitting a time that is too slow may require you to pass others frequently.
Accurate seed times help ensure a safe and efficient swim for all participants.
Swim caps are not provided for this event. If you choose to wear one, please bring your own.
Additional details regarding the swim start procedure will be shared closer to race day.

The bike course consists of a 6-mile loop that participants will complete twice.
The course is flat and travels through the UNCW campus and surrounding neighborhood roads.
Roads will remain open to traffic. While traffic is typically light, athletes must remain alert, obey all traffic laws, and ride safely at all times.

The 5K run is an out-and-back course that travels through the UNCW campus using its extensive sidewalk system.
Athletes will pass key campus landmarks, including Campus Commons, the Amphitheater, and Chancellor’s Walk, before reaching the turnaround near the UNCW water tower.
The course is flat and moderately shaded.

Only athletes are allowed in the transition area.
When entering/exiting the TA before or after the race, use the large inflatable labled "TA Entrance/Exit".
Due to multiple start times, some athletes will be staging in the TA, while others are racing. It is important to have self awareness while in the TA.
Spectators are not allowed in the TA.
Relay Team members may enter the TA through large TA inflatable and stage at numbered bike rack.
Spectators may view from the pool, aside the TA, and the finish line.
