Race Rules

• Must be registered and checked-in.
• Helmets must be CSA approved and chin straps should be snug to avoid the helmet from sliding.
• Must have body marking and timing chip.
• Any stroke is permitted during the swim. LIfe jackets and pool noodles can be used.
• Training wheels and push bikes are allowed. Children born in 2018 and earlier will be cycling on the road. There are some declines where the child must be proficient in using their brakes. Over-dependence on training wheels could lead to injury.

• Foot pegs (on BMX bikes) must be removed.

• Kickstands must be removed or taped up.
• After leaving the swim area participants can run to and through transition. They must always walk when in possession of their bike in transition.
• Only participants and volunteers are allowed in the transition area once the race begins. Parents cannot assist in anyway during the race or the participant will be disqualified.
• Swimmers must walk on pool deck upon exiting the pool. Running on ramp into transition is allowed.
• Participants must walk their bike within the transition area. They must mount and dismount their bicycle in the designated area on Alfred Street.
• Helmets must be fastened prior to the participant receiving the bike from the rack and remain fastened until the bike is re-racked.
• Participants should not intentionally draft behind others on the bike course; they should not follow another rider too closely.
• Participants will be disqualified if they go across the center line on the road; road barrels are in place to help separate the cyclists and traffic. Ride on the inner lane only.
• Race bibs must be worn on the front during the run so we can accurately track laps.
