Awards:
Will be presented to the Overall Male & Female champions and Overall Masters Male & Female champions (Overall and Masters champions will be removed from the individual age division awards). Awards will also be presented to the 1st thru 3rd place finishers in each individual age division, as well as the Open & Masters Clydesdale & Athena divisions. The 1st and 2nd place teams in each relay division will also receive awards.

Divisions:
Individuals: 12-14, 15-17, 18-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80 & over. Clydesdale's (men 198 lbs & over) and Athena's (women 150 lbs & over) in Open (39 & under) and Masters (40 & over) divisions.

Triathlon Relay Teams: (combined 3 ages) 105 & under and 106 & over in Men's, Women's and Mixed divisions.

Friends & Family Division: A non-competitive division created for the sole purpose of allowing participants of different ages and genders to swim in the same wave. For example, this allows fathers/daughters, mothers/sons, husband /wives, boyfriends/girlfriends, siblings, etc. to enjoy the triathlon together and to help one another through the swim leg of the event. When participants fail to swim in their correct wave, as determined by age & gender in most all triathlons, their split times and finish time are compromised. So, if you choose to participate out of your wave choose this division to uphold the integrity of your results and the overall results of the event.

Duathlon Relay Teams (combined 2 ages): 0-70, 71-90 & 91+ in men's, women's, and mixed divisions.

NOTE: Awards Ceremony will commence at the conclusion of the event and winners must pick up their awards. Awards will not be mailed.
