h20  MultiSport 101: Sorry no 101 for this event due to Friday Set up.  H20 Overdrive is our official Multi-Sport 101 partner.  You want something that works without all the hype this is it folks.  You are going to spend money on hydration drinks you should spend it on something that not only works but is great for the body!!

 

Transition Area: Open at 6:00am closes at 7:30am. No Friends or Family members allowed in the transition area for any reason.The race director and race officials will close the transition area 30-45 minutes before race start to ensure all athletes are at starting lines for mandatory course meetings and announcements.  Once the transition area is closed you will not be permitted back in before the race starts.  Family members will not be premitted in for any reason.  In the event of inclement weather it is recommended you have warm, dry clothing outside the transition area to put on following your finish due to other athletes still being on the bike course.  Thank you for your cooperation in following these rules. ***

You must rack according to your race number based on sequence placed at end of row. Please remember racks will hold 7 bikes racking with seat tip on support bar.   Please be courteous to fellow athletes to ensure there is space for 7.   Any athletes removing gear from transition areas before the announcer or race director has officially opened the transition area will be DISQUALIFIED from the race!  No questions asked, your race number will be taken down and you will be disqualified. The transitionarea is closed until all athletes are off the bike course. Sprint athletes this goes for you as well, you must wait until all the athletes are off the course and race officials open the transition area.  All athletes deserve a clear transition.  There will be an aid station at the run in/out chute with water and electrolyte replacement.  Athletes wearing their own chips, PLEASE remove your chips before re-entering the transition area and exiting again.  This can cause a timing error.  Run in/out and Bike in/out chutes are clearly marked on the large structures at either end, it is your responsibility to go the right direction.

Swim: 1000m - Beautiful, clean, clear Pontiac Lake will be the setting for the swim with a Run from the huge sandy beach in the water. This will be an out and back on a rectangle course.  The course will be set on Friday weather permitting. Life guards, Sheriff marine division and search and rescue will be on the water for your safety.

Duathlon run 1: starting just at the run out chute to the left of the transition area you will head out to the 1mi. turnaround sign and return meshing in with the swimmers exiting the water heading into the transition area.

COURSE MAPS: Swim   Run   Bike   Transition Area = maps coming soon

Relays: At registration you will receive ONE bib number and ONE chip/strap. The bib number goes on the runner as that is who will be crossing the finish line. All relay members must be body marked with that number. The Chip/Strap will be securely fastened around the person competing in the first discipline. There will be a designated spot for All Relays at one of the entry/exit points in the transition area marked RELAYS. All staging and chip/strap exchanging is to be done at this point. Not on the course. The Chip/Strap must be securely fastened to each athletes ankle, do not grab it and go, do not put it on the wrist. Upon finishing it is the last athletes responsibility to return that chip/strap at the finish line. (one athlete may do more than one discipline)

Mountain Bike: 10mi. - A great course with rolling terrain with plenty of single and technical track but still fast!  Exiting the transition area you will follow the chute and cones through the back of the park across Gale rd. and onto the mountain bike loop.  You will stay on the clearly marked mountain bike course loop, do not cross over onto the equestrian horse trails.  The loop will bring you back to Gale rd. where you will cross again and head into the park, and back to the transition area. 

 
 
 
 

 Event management reserves the right to post pone, change format, or cancel the event at any time if the safety of athletes, staff, support crew, and officials is or could be in jeopardy. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON!!! Event management is NOT responsible for late arrivals, athletes not finding a venue, etc. Late arrivals will NOT be issued a chip and strap and you will not be allowed in the transition area once it is closed. Again, there will be no refunds for any reason. If an event has mandatory bike check in you must check in your bike during the alotted check in times. Failure to do so will mean you are not going to race and again no refunds will be given. These rules are in place for a reason and deviation of them is not fair to the hundreds of athletes that follow the rules. Profanities on the course, directed at support crew, staff, or fellow athletes will not be tolerated and will result in an Automatic Disqualification and could result in further suspension. If you are caught throwing trash on the course you will receive a 5 minute penalty for the first offense and the second will be a disqualfication. There are garbage bins everywhere, use them. Kids 17 and under may not compete in half ironman distance events. Kids must be 10 yrs. of age to compete in adult sprint events. The race director will have final say for anyone racing at any event. Athletes experience will be considered in a personal interview with the race director on site if a question of ability to safely finish is at stake. Failure to comply will result in a change of event or disqualification if there is an un-willingness on an athletes part. Safety will NOT be compromised under any circumstances. A lost chip will be billed directly to the athlete for a $40 fee and may result in no times for event.
