- Participant Information: Each participant/team member must fill out the roster information and sign the assumption of risk/liability release portion of the registration form. Each participant assumes the responsibility of their own health and willingly agrees to comply with all stated and customary terms and conditions for participation.

- Event Information: Each participant will have a maximum time of three (3) hours to complete all three areas of the triathlon challenge which includes 1/4 mile swim (18 lengths), 12.4 mile bike and a 5K run (3.1 miles). Participants must check in with the timing table before transitioning to the next event. A running clock will be used, and each heat will start every 20 seconds. We recommend bringing your own watch so you can track any stop time you have, due to flat tires, stoppage at intersections, or the possibility of waiting at a train crossing. You will be marked by a number, which needs to be visible at all times. All distances are based solely on the honor code and times given are estimates. There will be one champion for both individual Men's and Women's and team Men's and Women's and Coed.
- SWIM- This is the only indoor leg of the Triathlon. The distance is 1/4 mile or 18 lengths. Starts will begin in heats. Goggles and swim caps are highly recommended. Transition areas will be posted.
