Information you need to know:
- race time cut offs. Total time allowed for the race is 4.5 hours. Any athlete on the course after that time will have their race bib number removed & will be told their time will not be counted.
- swim and swim/bike cut offs. 1 hour swim cut off. 3:15 swim/bike cut off. This will alleviate athletes going out onto the course with insufficient time to complete the course.
- change to swim course direction to clockwise to eliminate some athletes who walked the last part of the swim course
- there is no mandatory pre race meeting
