What FrugalMan Means
What FrugalMan Means
FrugalMan is intentionally simple and informal. There is no entry fee, official timing, race support, aid stations, awards, shirts, course staff, or equipment transportation. Participants bring everything they need and remove all belongings afterward.
This is a practice session, not a formal race. It offers an opportunity to work on open-water swimming, bike and run pacing, transitions, and early-season fitness without the pressure of a timed event.

Important Participation Information
Important Participation Information
FrugalMan is an informal, self-supported practice session rather than a formal race. Advance registration and acceptance of the participant agreement may be required. Final participation requirements, safety information, meeting details, and any weather-related changes will be provided when the next session is announced.
Open-water swimming and cycling on public roads involve inherent risks. Participants should have appropriate experience, follow applicable rules, use proper safety equipment, and never participate alone in the open water. The session may be changed or canceled because of weather, water conditions, site access, or other safety concerns.
Details may vary from one session to another. Please message us before attending so we can confirm the date, meeting time, course, access information, and current plans.
