RACE START

The Youth Triathlon will begin at 6:30 PM on Saturday, August 8. This race will use a time trail start (participants will start one person at a time, every 5 seconds). We will start with the oldest age groups and move through to the youngest.

 

SWIM COURSE

The youth swim will take place in the 25 meter, 4 ft deep outdoor pool. Triathletes will be staged along the pool deck by age group. All starts will be in-water from the shallow end of the pool. Triathletes will complete a "snake swim" in the pool. Flip turns are not allowed. Triathletes will exit the pool and must walk while on the pool deck until they pass through the pool gate to the transition area. 

Participants will start at lane one and swim down and back in that lane. If swimming a longer distance, participants will duck under the rope and go down and back in lane 2 and so on. To view the swim course map, click HERE.

Please familiarize yourself with the course, as it is ultimately the athlete’s responsibility to know all courses. There are no aid stations on the run course.
