Race Rules
Abandoning Equipment
Throwing down the bike or helmet in a random location in transition, littering on the course, or otherwise leaving your equipment somewhere it doesn’t belong will result in a 2-minute penalty for each occurrence.
DISQUALIFICATION
Breaking the following rules will result in disqualification
Interfering with another athlete.
This includes, but is not limited to, deliberately getting in their way, sabotaging their equipment, or touching their stuff in the transition area.
Outside assistance.
Triathlon is an individual sport. Therefore, only volunteers, the racer's parents, or other racers may assist your racer during the race. In particular, sneaking into the transition area to assist your child with their transitions is absolutely forbidden. It’s cheating.
Disobeying the volunteers or being rude to them.
No yelling or cursing at volunteers. No ignoring their directions. Even if you think a volunteer is wrong, you must do what they say.
SPECTATORS MUST STAY OFF THE COURSE
We understand your enthusiasm for your child’s participation, but we ask that you be courteous to other parents and participants.
Please be aware of the race course flow during the race.
Any adult who goes out onto the bike course while a race is underway will be thrown out and added to our banned list. This is very, very serious as adults on the bike course have caused crashes that have resulted in broken bones in the past.
Any adult who interferes with another racer will cause that racer to be disqualified.
