Q: Do I have to wear a wetsuit and does it have to be triathlon specific?
A: Wetsuits are mandatory but you do not have to wear a tri specific one. Most people who are racing for the first time will use a surf wetsuit that they already have.

Q: Do I have to wear a swim hat?
A: Yes you do and for safety reasons you must wear the race issue hat. Failure to do so may result in you being disqualified.

Q: Do I have to use a racing bike for this event?
A: No, any bike can be used but you must make sure that it is in excellent working order. It is also compulsory to wear a helmet and remember to put your helmet on first before taking your bike from the racking and you must place your bike back on the racking before taking your helmet off, when you have finished the bike section of the race.

Q: Is my bike safe in transition and where do I put my bike?
A: As race organisers, we do everything that we can to make your equipment safe during the event but ultimately your equipment is left at your own risk. We do however provide a restricted transition area. You will be issued with a bike number in your goody bag which you must attach to your bike prior to racking it. You can rack your bike in any location, but please ensure that you keep your area neat and tidy to limit the disruption to other athletes. Your bib number and bike number must be shown when collecting your bike at the end of the race.
