will get back to you as soon as possible.
Here are some recent questions that we
have received that may be useful to others:
Q: Will wet suits be allowed?
A: The water temperature must be below 83 degrees
Fahrenheit to allow wet suits. The average water
temperature in the Indian River is usually higher than
that at this time of year. The water temperature
will be measured shortly before the race per USAT rules
to determine the official water temperature.
Q: I registered for the race but
cannot race due to injury. Can I transfer my
registration to someone else or receive a refund?
A: No, registrations cannot be transferred nor are
there any refunds.
Q: How many swim waves will there
be?
A: That probably will not be
determined until race day.
Q: Where should I park
on race day?
A: There is a parking lot at the Eau
Gallie Civic Center across the street from
the transition area that will be available
for you to use. There are also
numerous parking spaces on many streets in
the area but please obey any posted No
Parking signs and do not park in any parking
lots of any of the churches in the area.
Q: Can I mail in my
registration?
A: No, there is no print registration
available this year. If there are
still spots available once online
registration closes you will be able to
register at packet pickup though.
Q: If I wait until
race day to register will there still be
spaces available?
A: There is no guarantee that any
spaces will be available on race day.
Once the race reaches capacity it will be
closed and additional entries will not be
allowed.
Q: If the Sprint
Distance race fills up but the Olympic
Distance still has space will you allow
additional Sprint entries on race day?
A: The race has a capacity of 500
participants and there is no limit on the
number of slots available for each category.
Q: I missed a turn on
the course and because of this I was
disqualified. I didn't see anything
that indicated where the turn was and I
don't think that I should have been
disqualified.
A: It is the racer's responsibility to
know the course. Volunteers on the run
and bike course can direct you if you have a
question but in all cases it is each
participant's responsibility to know the
course.
