Every triathlon and duathlon finisher will receive a custom medal. In addition to your medal and your ultra cool (so cool we can't tell you yet!) commemorative giveaway, we will have unique awards given to the top three finishers in each age-group category in 5-year increments:
Go big, race both the Olympic and sprint distance races (both tri and du)!
There will be incredibly cool and amazing prizes for the top overall female and top overall male
with the shortest combined time between the Olympic and the sprint distance triathlons or duathlons. This is not based on age, purely on the lowest combined times for both races.
The top three finishers in each age group of the 5K and 10K run participants will receive ribbons. Age group categories are in five year increments: 10 and under, 11-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29....65-69, 70+
› Try a Tri swim wave (age group & junior triathlons): 7:30 start!
New to triathlon? Never swam in open water? We'd like to give beginner triathletes only the opportunity to swim in a wave that gives them confidence!
The Try A Tri Swim wave will leave 30 minutes before the first "regular" swim wave thus allowing new swimmers to not have any anxiety of faster swimmers passing them and still be able to finish the race with the majority of the athletes.
NOTE: This swim wave is available for both sprint and Olympic distance races and is limited to 75 beginner triathletes in each race.
Make sure to select "yes" on the try a tri swim wave question on the registration form to be included in this swim wave (limited to 75 per race).
› Patagonia technical t-shirts and 100% cotton t-shirts
Cotton Tee is included with your registration fee. You can choose to upgrade to a high quality Patagonia technical tee for $22 or purchase one for $27 and still get your cotton tee.
Cotton shirts and sizes are guaranteed to everyone who registers before June 30, 2010!
›Smile!
Athletes will be thrilled with the on-course action photos all along the course and of course group and individual shots at the start and finish.
›Volunteer opportunities!
Are your friends, partner, spouse or kids coming with you to cheer you on? If they would like to get closer to the action, maybe they'd like to volunteer for a few hours. Please email Heather Clark, our fabulous volunteer coordinator if you are interested in helping out!
