ALL REGISTRAIONS ONLINE ONLY, even race day. 

NO PAPER ENTRIES. Register at home before you leave or use your phone when you arrive

Race day registration will be available. T-shirts, while supplies last.

Please be considerate of your fellow athletes and adhere to the guidelines for safer outdoor gatherings. We request that all spectators and athletes please adhere to guidlines for safe social gatherings.

We will be implementing a TIME TRIAL TYPE START this year to assist in limiting large gatherings. Each participant's time will not start until they actually CROSS over the start timing mat. Chip Times for all.

Direction of swim will depend on tides on that day, with swimmers always aswimming with the tide while closer to the channel.Start location will be determined once tide and swim direction is known. We will start lining up at about 7:30 for the 2.4 mile swim, first come first serve.

Results:  We will email you your results as soon as you finish the swim. Grab your cell phone and get your times and check overall places etc. 

PLEASE NOTE:

Places will change continually until the last finisher is in. 

We will NOT be doing an award ceremony, or printing results at the event so that we do not promote groups gathering around printed sheets hanging on a wall. Results are ALL ONLINE LIVE.

 You will be able to get your age group awards electronically by returning to the results link at the end of the race and click on your name to get your official finisher certificate/Age group award. We have implemented a 5 year award category breakdown this year.

Split Second Racing

No refunds. Rain or shine event.

There is a time limit on the swim. Anyone still in the water at 10:30, will be removed and brought in. Anyone thinking they will be swimming close to two hours can see the timing tent only BEFORE the event and we will let them go in at 8:00 ,prior to the first heat. That give them a time limit of 2:20. Anyone going in at that time that swims faster that 1:45, will be disqualified. 

​Water Temp is usually about 70 degrees

​At check in, we will be marking your left hand and your cap with your chip number. Chips  need to go below or over your wetsuit for timing, on your ankle only, not on your wrist. Please do not cover your chip with your wetsuit.
