Event Registration:  The team captain or a team representative must attend the event registration on Saturday 6 December from 4.00pm-6.00pm to register their teams and collect kits bags for all team members as well as their team race numbers and timing chip. Registration will be on race site near the Transition area. 

Swimmers: you will be starting in one of several ‘wave’ starts designated by a colour coded swim cap issued at Registration on Saturday - you don’t all start at once.  You will most likely be standing in the water at the edge of the lake with your fellow wave start entrants and when the Race Referee gives the all clear, the starters horn will blow.  You will swim around the swim buoys as per the course description (safety canoes will be in attendance around the whole swim course).  You will then exit the water and run up to the transition area where your cyclist will be waiting for you to tag them.

Cyclists:  Ensure your helmet is secured on your head before you remove your bike from the rack.  Once you have been tagged by your swimmer, you must ‘run’ your bike to the designated bike mount line, where you can hop on your bike and commence pedaling.  After completing the appropriate number of cycle course laps for your race distance (short or long), you then need to dismount from your bike at the dismount line and ‘run’ your bike back to the same rack as you started.  You can then tag your runner.

Runners:  Once your cyclist has tagged you, you can head out to the run course, complete the appropriate course for your race distance
