Swim Heat Schedule

Our first swim heat will begin at 8:30AM, and heats will continue until 3:00PM (3:30 last finish). You will be asked to select an approximate swim start time during registration. Times may be adjusted 15-30 minutes to accommodate the most swimmers possible. We ask that you arrive at least 30-45 minutes prior to your assigned start time. Start times and lane assignments will be emailed out Friday morning prior to the race. Swimmers may be required to share a lane with another swimmer. Everyone must complete all of their legs by 3:30PM at the latest. That may require you to finish your bike and run before your swim!

Course Information

PLEASE NOTE THAT BIKE AND RUN LEGS ARE 100% SELF SUPPORTED. NO TRAFFIC CONTROL WILL BE PROVIDED AND CYCLISTS/RUNNERS WILL HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD. No course markings will be provided, so cyclists should bring GPS directions, or be very familiar with the roads in question. For those wishing not to ride the roads, cycling segments only may be substituted for a stationary ride on your bike trainer (at home or brought on deck). Stationary rides will constitute their own divisions and will be scored separately from road rides. For those racing in the cycling and running portions, you can expect to self report your times.

SWIM, BIKE, and RUN MAY BE DONE IN ANY ORDER YOU WISH, but must be completed by 3:30PM the day of the race.

Awards

All racers will receive a race t-shirt (provided entry is received by 10/12), and a custom French Creek Racing award based on their finish place. Custom awards to top 3 overall and in each age group, in each event. No awards ceremony, but awards are available soon after all results are tabulated.
