WEATHER CONTINGENCY PLAN: In the event
of foul weather, the start time of this event may be
delayed by up to one hour. Should the weather
conditions be unsafe for the swim this event will be
changed to a duathlon with distances of
5k/56mi/13.1mi. The duathlon will use a mass start
rather than waves. Should weather make it too
dangerous for cycling the event will become a half
marathon. This event has a no rollover no refund
policy. |
