Please arrive at your designated start area 15 minutes before your race briefing, and consider the briefing to be the beginning of your event. Your race will begin immediately after a brief pre-race meeting of 5-15 minutes. To explain the timeframe below, the ⅓ Iron + Olympic Duathlon meeting will begin at 7am and the race is expected to start at ~7:15am. The next race meeting will then start at 7:20am

1:00pm: Timing is closed & the event ends, all athletes must have completed the race. 

 

Race Time Limits
We will end timing at 1:00pm, meaning that racers must be completed with their race by this time. This gives ⅓ Iron athletes about 5.5 hours to complete their race, and all other racers 4.5+ hours. This is plenty of time, but if you cannot make the time cut off, please choose a different race distance. 

10:00am: All Swimmers must have completed the Swim Course 

11:00am: All Cyclists must have completed the Bike Course 

1:00pm: All Runners must have completed the Run Course
