Race Day Start
8:30am - 9:00 Start Time is approximate to allow the majority of adults finish their event before sending off the kids.
Please be patient with this process as we want to clear out the adult F1 swimmers before we gather the kids.
This also allows the adults to finish their race before doing their second tri of the day with their mini triathlete!
