USAT “RACE AGE” POLICY
An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31 of the current race year. The age he/she is on 12/31 will determine his/her racing age group. If an athlete is due to "age-up" into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete's birthday.
This action aligns regular U.S. age group racing with the method used by USA Triathlon for its National Rankings Program and its Grand Prix Series.

You must be body marked prior to entering transition area.
Athletes are welcome to: arrive at the race self body marked, (sharpies or marks-a-lot work well)
or self body mark at the event prior to entering the transition area (a table with markers will be provided),
or wait to be body marked by volunteers prior to entering the transition area.
