Other Notes

If you are concerned that you cannot finish the swim, PLEASE DO NOT enter the water. A relay would be best for your participation. You can run or bike. If you must wear a life jacket or tow a flotation device you must line up at the back of the pack away from the other swimmers. You will also not qualify for awards when using assistive swim devices. E-bikes will NOT be allowed. Any participant with an electric-assisted bike will be disqualified. No outside assistance. No drafting.

Special Instructions for the Relays

Each relay packet will contain a single bib number and a timing chip. Your last runner should be wearing the bib and each participant will hand off the chip (ankle bracelet) to the next teammate. VERY IMPORTANT! All chips MUST be returned. All non-returned chips will be billed at a rate of $30.00 per chip. Volunteers will be there to remind the participants.
