Racer Rules and Information

Pre-Race

Packet pick-up will be at C-ville Bike and Tri on Saturday, May 26 from 3:00-5:00, or the morning of the race at Crow Pool, 6:45-7:30. Place bikes and other necessary equipment in appropriate bike staging area, prior to the race. Racers must have their arms and legs marked with their race number prior to start. Numbers should be placed on the front of a running shirt or shorts. Race will begin promptly at 8:00. Race Line-up will begin in the pool area at 7:40.

Swim

Participants will line up according to ability. (Numbers will be given based on approximate time of swim capability.) If you are not in your appropriate spot by swim time, you may be asked to go to the end of the line. Participants will enter the pool one at a time, in 5 second intervals. Two participants will be asked to sit on deck. Once the first person has entered the water the second person will slide over waiting for the go ahead, as the next racer in line sits down in preparation. Participants will swim down one lane, touch the end of the pool, cross under the lane line, swim to the opposite end, touch end of pool, cross under lane line, etc. until swim is complete. Please stay to the right of the lane, as faster swimmers may pass on the left. Racers must still touch the side of the pool first before crossing under lane line. Please exit the water safely and walk to bike staging area. Please use caution when swimming. We are using approximate swim times that do not account for the excitement of racing! Some inexperienced racers may be slower than their actual ability.

Bike

Every rider must have a helmet. If you do not have a helmet, you will not be allowed to participate in the race. Please follow arrow signs, volunteer and police prompts. All turns will have a sign indicated direction and also have a volunteer. Police officers will be assisting at the crossing of Rugby and Rose Hill, please follow their direction and use caution. This is not a closed course, so please use extreme caution with traffic and stay on the right hand side of the road at all times. Please view the road map previous to the race.

Run

First part of the run is on trail. Please be mindful of the terrain. On the road, please stay to the right and run on sidewalks when available.

Parking

There will be no parking in the lots at Crow Pool. There is parking available at the school in the upper lots, and Greenleaf Park has parking available (off Rose Hill). If you are parking on the road, please be mindful of residents and do not block driveways.

Prizes

There will be no awards given based on times. However, there will be prizes drawn according race numbers.

Have fun and we hope you enjoy the race!
