Tri-Berry Tri is a great Spring Triathlon with a pool swim!! Beautiful and flat run and bike. Limited to first 200 participants! 100 in each division. Competitive: 500 yard swim. 23k bike. 8k run. Recreation: 250 yard swim. 23k bike. 4K run. Chip-Timed by Accu-stat chip-timing. Your timed results available before you stop sweating. All proceeds benefit Lynden Christian Schools Athletics.

In the interest of maintaining our event start schedule, all competitors are asked to complete the swim portion of the race in 9 minutes or less. Your group will be staged just outside of the Y building until your group is on deck. The YMCA pool is 25 yards long and 5 lanes wide. 10 competitors will swim at any one time. Competitors will swim two to a lane. One swimmer will stay to the left of the lane, another to the right. The swim distance is 10X across the pool for the recreation division and 20 X across for the competitive division. Competitors must count their own laps and are on the honor system to do so accurately. There are three starts in each half hour time slot so competitors must be prepared to swim at anytime within their 12 hour time slot! A manifest will be used to ensure that all competitors are in their correct group. All competitors are asked to mount their bikes only after they have passed the orange cones outside of transition area. Course will be marked but all participants are responsible to know the course. Cyclists must obey all traffic laws. Course is open to traffic. The ride and run are fast and flat. We request that only participants be in transition areas. There will be a festive finish area that is good for spectators and participants alike. The finish area is a short walk from parking area.

Three groups of 10 will start every 30 minutes. Sign-up times are in 30 minute segments.
Competitive division will start at 7:30, 8:00, 8:30 and 9:00am
