SWIM WAVE AND RACE START TIME:

First wave will go into the water at 7:30 a.m. Waves will go into water in three (3) minute intervals. Exact wave times will be announced prior to the race. No matter which wave you are assigned, EVERY ATHLETE should be prepared to be at the beach by 7:15 a.m. for race director meeting and to go in your assigned wave.

RUN-You will need a pair of running shoes. We will provide you with your bib number and pins, which must be worn on the front of your person during the final run portion of the event and at the finish line.
