Race Setup
We will have a room in Van Vliet Center for registration with signs marking where to go the morning of. Here, you will be able to pick up a swim cap, timing chip, and store a bag securely. From there, you can move to the Butterdome track to warm up.
The race will begin with laps around the Butterdome track. After 2.4km of racing, you will move off the track into a transition zone where you can remove your running shoes and pull on a swim cap and goggles. From there it will be a short jog over to the West Pool where you will start the swim. It will be setup as lap swimming in a 25m pool, meaning you will be doing 15 laps. Once you're finished the swim, you'll hop out and head back to the track to finish out the final 1.6km. There will be a cutoff time requiring athletes to be done the swim by 8:45 so that there is time to finish the race before 9AM.
