There will be no one site registration for this event.

The top 3 male and female in each age group will receive an award for the Aquathlon & Open Water Swim. The Overall male and female and Overall male and female masters will receive a trophy.  

Wet suits are permitted at the Aquathlon but for health reasons, participants should not wear one if the water is 78 degrees or higher. Check with a race instructor the day of the event for details on the water temperature. Also for safety reasons, it is required that each participant wear a swim cap while in the water. Swim caps make it easier for event staff and water safety boats to see participants in the water. Please bring a swim cap with you, a limited number of extras will be available on site. 

Cost: $30/each
$40 for Open Water Swim/Aquathlon Combo
