Relay Teams:
Enter as a team of 2 or 3 persons for the Olympic Course or the Sprint Course events. Teams
will start with the second wave of individual competitors. A separate portion of the transition
area will be assigned for team members. The bike must remain racked until the exchange of the timing chip from the swimmer to the cyclist is completed. The bike must be racked at the end of the ride to exchange the timing chip to the runner. Drafting is not allowed on the bike between any competitors.

Each member of the relay team must have a USAT license to race. The online registration process will allow you to purchase a one-day USAT license for each team member. Choose one person to be the team leader and that person will then enter all information for the team and complete the credit card transaction for the cost of the event and USAT licenses. Modifications in team membership can be made online through September 1st.

Olympic Course Relay Start Time: 8:05 a.m.
Sprint Course Relay Start Time:8:35 a.m.


Looking for Relay Team Members? Is your team almost complete? Are you a competitor or two short of a dream team? For example, do you have a runner and cyclist but no swimmer? Contact us and we will post requests. Hopefully we can help you get hooked up with that ringer you need to make the podium!
