COVID is still with us so we will be wearing our masks at race site in certain areas unless you are RACING!
Please wear masks at the Packet Pick-ups, Transition area and in Swim line. Post-race in transition. REMEMBER SOCIAL DISTANCING!
We will observe our Nation with the Star Bangled Banner at 7:45 am, after the national anthem the participants will make their way to the swim start at 8:00 am. YOU WILL ALSO BE WEARING YOUR DISPOSABLE FACE COVERING IN THE SWIM LINE AND STANDING 6’ APART FROM EVERYONE. At your swim start you will take off your mask and we will have a trash can there to dispose of them. You will enter the water every three seconds in numeric order.
Once exiting the water, racers will go to their bike and start the bike ride. After the bike athletes will go back to the transition area and rack their bike and put on their running gear. There are water stops on the course at each mile and each stop will have tables with 8oz sealed bottles of water on the tables. Our volunteers will set out the water on the tables WHILE WEARING GLOVES AND FACE COVERINGS. Participants will serve themselves at each water stop, pick up a bottle of water, and move away from the water stop. Trash Cans will be there for twist off caps and bottles. This may slow down a few of our participants, so we recommend carrying your own running water bottle filled up from your home.
Once the participants cross the finish line they will be directed to tables that will be supplied with a sealed bottle of water, Gatorade, finisher medal, snack, and a face mask. Participants will keep walking away from the finish line for their cool down and drinking of their water. We cannot give out cold wet towels at the finish line like we normally have in the past. At this point we need to keep everyone separated, the sooner you can put your mask on the better for everyone. Once properly cooled down participants will put on the supplied face mask so we can start letting participants in the transition area to retrieve their gear. We will have an announcer repeating instructions of where to go and when.
We will ask participants to retrieve their gear and leave the transition area as soon as possible.
Awards will follow.
