The Heart O' Dixie Triathlon is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event and governed by USAT rules. If provided by USAT, referee will be on-site throughout the race to enforce the rules. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in a time penalty or disqualification. During the registration process you will be required to enter your USAT license number or purchase a one day license (If you aren't a USAT member) to participate in the event. If you already have a license or membership, you will be required to present it at packet pick-up to prove its validity, along with a valid photo id.  *During the early months of registration for the 2026 race there was an error in the system and some people were not required to enter their USAT license or purchase a one day license, so if that was you then prepared to pay for a one day license/youth membership or show your membership information. *

USA Triathlon Competition Rules will apply. These rules are found in the Triathlon Competition Guidebook.
