There is also an at-home option for participants who are interested in a virtual option.

Long Course athletes will need to complete two loops of the bike course. Athletes are responsible for keeping track of their own number of loops while biking.

*Long, Medium, and Intermediate courses will need to do multiple laps on the track to complete their run portion. Each athlete is responsible for keeping track of their own number of laps. You may want to station an adult in the spectator area of the track if you think it may be a challenge for your child to keep track of their own number of laps.

As we enjoy a return to in-person racing, we want to keep you informed on the ways we are keeping our events safe for participants, volunteers, and staff. Here are a few things you can expect when participating in a Tri 4 Schools event in 2022:

• We will follow any current local health recommendations.
• Most event activities are outdoors, which allows for good air circulation and opportunities for social distancing.
• Participants will start their race individually, spread across various wave times, to maintain distancing on the course and at the race site.
• We ask that any participant, volunteer, or spectator who is experiencing any illness symptoms or has recently tested positive for COVID to refrain from attending the event.
• Even with the return to in-person racing, we will continue to offer an “at-home” option for any participants who would prefer to complete their race at home.
