Transition
  • Transition – means changing from one activity to another, or in triathlon, the area where the athletes change from swimming to biking and then again from biking to running.  
  • Two washrooms located right outside of transition zone.
  • Only athletes and race volunteers are allowed in the transition area during the race.  We have a great bunch of volunteers that will help the littlest of athletes dry off, get their helmet on, do up shoes, and attend to all their race needs!  We encourage parents and friends to cheer on athletes from the transition perimeter and along the course routes.
  • Only athletes will be allowed to retrieve their belongings from transition.  Re-entry will be allowed upon completion of the race.  We want to ensure the safety of all athletes and the security of their bikes and gear. 
  • Be aware of the entrance and exits from transition- called the “chutes”.  Before your race begins, make sure you familiarize yourself with the swim entrance chute (from pool to transition), the bike exit chute (from transition out onto the bike course), the bike entrance chute (coming back into transition from the bike course) and the run exit chute (leaving transition for the last time and heading out onto the run course). 
  • Remember where your bike and gear are.  After setting up your equipment in transition and before leaving for the swim marshalling area, make a mental note of where your bike is.  Is it in the middle of transition?  Is it beside the big tree?  Is it near the water station?  Perhaps you can place your favourite towel over your bike.  This will help you quickly find your way to your bike when you are running in to transition after your swim. 

Bike Course
  • Ideally you should be familiar with road rules and proficient at basic bike skills (e.g. signs, signalling, stopping, cornering, riding in a straight line, and riding with other people/passing).
  • Keep right, stay inside the traffic cones and obey all traffic marshals.
  • Slow down for corners, hazards (i.e. bumps, crossings) and turn-a-rounds.
  • Make sure to obey traffic marshal's directions to slow down.
  • Make sure you know how many laps you have to cycle.
  • Training wheels can be used
  • Parents may accompany children in the 5 yr old and 6-7 yr old age groups if necessary. Parents who accompany their children can join them as they exit from transition.
  • Keep your head up, eyes open and be safe!

Run Course & Finish Area
  • 2.3 km draft legal run course listed below. Youth run course will be a smaller section of the course listed below.
  • Follow route marshals directions at all times.
  • Familiarize yourself with your age specific route(s)
  • Clear the finish area after completing your race to help the timers do their job.
  • Have fun and be sure to give the other participants lots of space.

Awards Ceremony 

  • Awards to take place shortly after the completion of the Youth Event
