The cyclist cannot remove the bike from the rack before being tagged by the swimmer. The cyclist cannot tag the runner before re-racking the bike. The overall time for a relay will be the aggregate of times for each of the members.

Post Race
We will make every effort to have an awards ceremony in a safe way and hope this will be possible at the time of the event. A Post race celebration with music and refreshments. We hope to have a a fun, festive atmosphere celebration for the whole family where you want to stick around and hang out with your family and fellow triathletes, but we can’t know if this will be possible until closer to the event.
Parking is conveniently located on campus a short distance from the transition area. PLEASE COME TO THE VENUE ONLY VIA Rt 302 to White Bridges Rd and turn right on to Wisteriea Way coming to campus and leave by making a left out of Wisterlea way. This will allow to you leave after your event is complete while we still have cyclists coming and going from campus. Thanks for your assistance making the event as safe as possible for all participants.

Inclement Weather:
There is NO rain date, We Go Rain or Shine. In the case of foul weather or inclement conditions, Acts of God, or other reasons the race cannot be executed as planned, management reserves the right to cancel, postpone, reschedule, switch to virtual for all participants, alter, modify the race / course, remove one or more of the legs (swim, bike, or run), or cancel the race altogether.
In any case there will be No Refunds of race entry fees. Each athlete must except any such risk of their entry fee paid. There is no complementary race entry to a future race. All monies collected are used to develop and produce the event, including all race supplies, staffing, and administration. We pledge to make every effort to produce a fair, safe and exciting event for all and we will do everything in our power to prevent changes to the published race course and schedule; however, there are many factors and stakeholders involved. Any decision we make to go forth with the race is based on the overall event safety. In the case of a change or cancellation due to factors beyond our control, we are unable to offer any refunds for any entry, regardless of what type it is.
The race has a no-refund policy (click here to read the specifics and reasons why). However, we understand that things come up and plans change. Therefore, we are offering a new option to purchase a “fully refundable entry” at the time you sign up, for an additional $25. This will provide peace-of-mind, knowing that your entire entry fee is refundable up until three days before the race
