No Dog Policy for Our 5K Races
We love dogs and understand they are part of the family, but unfortunately, we cannot permit them to participate in our 5K races. This policy is in place because our event insurance does not cover the participation of dogs, and we must prioritize the safety and well-being of all participants, both human and canine.
Key Points of the Policy:
No Dogs Allowed on the Course: For safety and liability reasons, dogs are not permitted to accompany runners or walkers during the race.
Spectator Pets: Well-behaved and leashed dogs are welcome to spectate along the sidelines, provided they remain under control and do not enter the race course.
Service Animals: Registered service animals are, of course, an exception to this rule, as they are covered under legal protections.
Alternative Participation Options: If you’re looking for a dog-friendly race experience, please let us know, and we can share recommendations for other events in the area that welcome canine companions.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable race for everyone involved!

GENERAL RULES
ANY SWIMMER WHO HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED THE RACE AND IS UNABLE TO FINISH OR WHO MUST WITHDRAW FOR ANY REASON IS OBLIGED TO IMMEDIATELY REPORT HIS/HER POSITION TO A RACE OFFICIAL.
In order to be an official entrant, each swimmer must register at the check-in area between 30 and 60 minutes before the start of his/her race.
An official swim cap for the race will be provided at each check-in. This cap must be worn as your timing chip will be inside it.

During the race, directions issued by race officials must be followed.
Course marks must be passed on the correct side – see Instructions.
No wetsuits will be allowed.
An emergency plan card, provided, must be completed and handed in at registration.
The Race Committee reserves the right to remove a swimmer from the water who fails to reach a checkpoint by the official closing time - see CUT OFF TIMES for details.
PARKING FOR THE RACE
As all four events finish at the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum & Zoo but start elsewhere, competitors should have someone drop them off at their particular starting points at least 1 hour prior to the start of their race. See Check In times above.

THE STARTS
Check in will begin 1 hour prior to each start, see CHECK IN TIMES above. At the appropriate start, swimmers will be marked with their numbers and given their official swim cap.

SAFETY BOATS AND KAYAKS

Failure to comply will result in your number being reported to the race committee along with the offense. Penalty or disqualification may result.
THE COURSE
The course is an ANTI-CLOCKWISE route around Harrington Sound using islands, docks and buoys as course markers. RULE FOR BUOYS: Other than the yellow sausage buoys. ALL BUOYS MUST BE KEPT ON THE SWIMMER'S LEFT SHOULDER
There are four types of buoys which will be used on the course:
PINK TRIANGULAR BUOYS (~6 feet tall pyramids) indicate a check point / water stop along the course - SWIMMERS MUST CHECK IN AT THESE PINK MARKERS,
ORANGE TRIANGULAR BUOYS (~6 feet tall pyramids) indicate an island at which swimmers will be making a turn,
ORANGE ROUND BUOYS (most are 5 feet tall, some at the end of the route are 8 feet tall) indicate a path for the swimmer, do not turn at these, they are simply for guidance,
YELLOW SAUSAGE BUOYS (15 feet long by 18 inches high) indicate a direction for swimmers to follow leading into a Dingles Island, Cockroach Island, and out of the checkpoint with 2.75k to go.
