Event Site Rules

Event Capacity: 400

USAT Sanctioned:

The Statesville Rotary Triathlon is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event.

Cut-Off Time:

All participants must complete the race in under 2 hours, 30 minutes. Event officials reserve the right to pull a participant off the course if it appears as though that participant will not be able to complete the race in under 2 hours, 30 minutes.

Minimum Age:

The minimum age allowed for participating in the Statesville Rotary Triathlon is 10.

Timing System:

The Statesville Rotary Triathlon will be timed using the ChampionChip Tming System.
(5 splits provided)

Swim Times:

All participants must submit a 100 yard swim time for seeding purposes.
Being a pool swim with a staggered start, participants are seeded from fastest to slowest.
It is in your best interest to submit an accurate 100 yard "pace" time for your 300 yard swim. In other words, don't submit your fastest 100 yard swim time, submit a 100 yard time that represents what you'll do on race day over the 300 yard distance.
By seeding yourself properly, you'll end up swimming near people who swim the same pace as you. This will reduce the number of people who you will need to pass or the number of people who will be passing you.

Changing Swim Times:

Our registration system allows for people to access their registrations and adjust their swim times prior to the race.
NOTE: All swim times must be adjusted no later than May 1st.
After May 1st, participants will no longer be able to make this adjustment on their registration (the system will lock out any changes). Swim times will not be adjusted after that for any reason.

Below is a brief description of each race category:

Age Group - Participants competing in their age group.

Master Clydesdale - Category for participants who are over 200 lbs. and are 40 or over.

USAT's "Age Up" Policy:

An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31, 2010 . 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 new Grand Prix Series.

Example: John Smith is 39 and will turn 40 on November 20, 2010.

John will be considered 40 for all 2010 races - and will race in the 40-44 age group at all 2010 races.

Sally Jones is 29 and will turn 30 on July 3, 2010.
Sally will be considered 30 for all 2010 races - and will race in the 30-34 age group at all 2010 races.

This same policy applies to the all race categories in the TrySports Development Triathlon Series races.
