Our waiver - this is, by a 30-some year tradition fun, laid back, relaxed race. If you are competitive, you will have a fantastic training race. If you're beginner, you will catch the bug of triathlon and never let go. Come have fun and meet 300 new and old friends. Most importantly, we will celebrate America's birthday, swim-bike-run and have some fun! We ban uptight, grumpy or just plain mean people who think everything has to go there way all time. We just want to have some fun and tri!

If you are competitive, you will have a fantastic training race.  If you are uptight and extremely competitive, this may not be the best race for you.
