12:00 - 20:00 Registration Open (Regency Hall, Saundersfoot)
18:30 Event start
Registration
You can find registration at Regency Hall, Saundersfoot. You will need your photo ID and a signed disclaimer form to register. Without these we have the right to stop you from competing. Only you can register, you are not allowed to register somebody else.
Race Numbers
• 2 x Bib Numbers
• 1 x Helmet Number
• 1 x Bike Post Number
• 1 x Timing Chip
• 1 x Swim Hat
Race numbers must be displayed on the front during the run and the back during the bike. Failure to display your number could cause you to be penalised or disqualified. Race belts are permitted.
Timing Chips
Timing chips are to be placed around your left ankle for the duration of the event and returned after the race. If you do not return the chip you could face a £100 fine.
Age Requirements
You must be 14 years old by the day of the race to compete in the Saundersfoot Triathlon.
Event Briefing & Cut-off Time
There is a compulsory pre-event briefing held on the start line which must be attended by ALL athletes. Any athlete not present at the briefing will be disqualified.
The overall cut-off time is 11:00 for all athletes.
Swim start
The Swim start is a mass start, you will need to get in position 15 minutes before the starting gun. If you think you are a fast swimmer please be at the front and slower swimmers make sure you are at the back of the start.
Swimming Strokes
Front-facing swimming strokes are the only strokes allowed during the swim part of the event.
Swim Safety
There will be a swim safety team on boats and kayaks with life-saving personnel on hand. If you are having problems swimming lay on your back and raise your left hand in the air.
Transition
The transition will be at the Saundersfoot Harbour Car Park. Please make sure you have picked up your registration pack before trying to rack your bike.
Make sure you have numbered your bike and helmet with the numbers provided before entering Transition. Please make sure your helmet is on when you rack your bike. The transition area has been laid out to create an equal transition for everyone - we have therefore not numbered the racks so you can rack anywhere.
You will be able to remove your bike, once all the bikes are back in Transition. Bikes must be removed after the last competitor has completed the event.
No bikes will be allowed into transition after 07:30. All bikes are to be removed from transition by 11:00 or 30 minutes after the last athlete has crossed the finish line.
Drafting
This is a non-drafting event. Each bike will have a draft zone that is 3m wide and 7m long (10m in long-distance events). The measurement is taken from the front wheel of the bike to the front wheel of the following bike and is centred with 1.5m on each side of the bike.
On approaching another competitor you must either keep back outside of their draft zone or you must overtake. If you choose to overtake, the cyclist you are overtaking is then responsible for dropping back outside of your draft zone.
If you have difficulty visualising the draft zone then the equivalent distance you must keep between your front wheel and the rear wheel of the cyclist in front is roughly the length of a large family car.
Toilets
Toilets are located at the beachfront. Also at the entrance of the Regency Car Park, Saundersfoot, SA69 9EN
Headphones
Headphones are not allowed to be worn during this event.
