Welcome to the inaugural West Point Draft Legal Triathlon! Come join us on the 13th of August and support our West Point Triathlon Team! The race will fill up quickly as we will cap the race at 75 male and 75 female participants!

 

The West Point Draft Legal Triathlon is a USA Triathlon (USAT) sanctioned event. You are racing under the USAT Competitive Rules and there will be USAT certified referees on the course to ensure fairness in the competition. There will be no warnings if you commit a foul during competition. At the end of the race all citations by the marshals are reviewed by the Head Referee who then decides if a penalty should be assessed. The Head Referee's ruling is final in the case of Position Violations and there are no protests or appeals of Position penalties.

 

The following rules will be strictly enforced:

  1. Road handlebars only (NO TRIATHLON forward facing bars allowed)
  2. No disc wheels allowed
  3. All USAT draft legal elite rules apply

 

*For the Draft Legal race, your bicycle must have a traditional triangular frame; wheels must have at least 12 spokes; handlebars must be traditional drop-style with bar-ends plugged; clip-on aerobars may not extend beyond the brake levers' foremost line and must be bridged; no bar-end gear shifters allowed; elbow pads are allowed; no junior gear restrictions (as in cycling).
