Timing

Timing will once again be provided by SommerSports. A timing chip will be used for accurate and timely scoring The IPICO chip is a small plastic disk containing a miniature transponder. It is attached to a Velcro band that is worn by the participant around the ankle. You must wear your IPICO chip band at all times during the event in order to be timed. You will be issued your IPICO chip race morning prior to entering the transition area. YOU MUST BRING YOUR RACE NUMBER TO RECEIVE YOUR IPICO CHIP RACE MORNING. This is to ensure that you receive the correct chip number. YOU MAY NOT USE YOUR OWN CHIP FOR THIS RACE. All IPICO chips and ankle bands will be collected at the finish line of the race. If you drop out of the race for any reason, it is your responsibility to return the IPICO chip to the finish line volunteers. Athletes who do not return their IPICO chip will be charged $35.00.


Spectators

This is a very family friendly event. Spectators can watch the swim from the edge of the shore. Afterwards, you can go and watch the bike out and stand along the causeway to watch your family members/friends ride by. Finally, you can cheer on competitors who are on the run course as they begin and enter the finish line shoot.
