9/8/2022 - Red Flag Warning

It's going to be hot, but the race is on.

You may have heard that our area is under a red flag warning Friday and Saturday. This is because of the extreme heat and forecast winds creating very high fire danger. What this means for the race is that there is potential for the power companies to shut off the power in the area to help avoid additional fire risk. At Tri Fest, we are always prepared to go off grid. We have generators, gas and supplies for this. We also have been planning for the heat and have ordered extra ice for our aid stations.

If the power is shut off, we will loose running water in the park. You can help!

We have enough water for our racers and staff. We do not have the capacity to also provide ample water to friends/family/spectators and other park-goers. Please pack extra water for yourself and your people. We can't do it alone.

HALF IRON DISTANCE - We will also be setting up some extra tables on the edge of transition where the half-iron run comes through the park. If you'd like to set out some special need items before your race, you are allowed to put those items there. The volunteers in transition can point you in the right direction.

Last thing, there are absolutely NO FIRES ALLOWED and NO SMOKING. The only fire that is allowed in extreme fire danger are those that are gas powered with an on/off switch. Propane or butane fires are allowed but charcoal, wood, paper etc are not. We will be strictly enforcing this.

9/7/2022 9:00PM - ONLINE REGISTRATION IS CLOSED. You can still sign up to race on site starting at 4PM on Friday. Please bring cash or check. Thanks!

9/3/2022 - One week to race weekend! We are super excited. Please bring friends to help volunteer. We are short and need more help.
