Registration is $70 per race and closes the Wednesday prior, with no race day registration offered. Competitors should be comfortable with a 600 meter open water swim and with riding a bicycle on roads open to traffic. The start is organized in waves, and on-site packet pickup is available on race morning. Athletes are encouraged to bring prefilled water bottles, with hydration stations placed on the course.
