2019 Bike Detour – Bicycle Participants
A portion of the bicycle trail washed out this past year. An asphalt detour is available. You will be required to slow and go single file through the detour. It is located about three miles upstream of Riverbend Park between Hagen Park and Rossmoor Bar Drive. It will be well marked and volunteers will be there to control traffic.
Race Rules
Participants are required to familiarize themselves with the Great American Triathlon® rules before competing.
Hydration
July 20 is one of the hottest and driest days of the year. Even though the race takes place before the heat of the day sets in, It is still important to remain hydrated throughout the race. Hydration bottles are required on all bikes. Water is distributed during the run portion of the race, and having hydration available during the paddle portion of the race is strongly encouraged.
Medical Emergencies
Medical personnel will be stationed throughout the course should a participant, spectator, or volunteer need assistance. If you observe a participant who is experiencing a medical emergency or who is struggling in the water following a capsizing, you are required to stop racing and provide assistance until support arrives.
Run Course – 5.82 Miles
Cycle Course – 12.5 Miles
