In order to insure a safe event, a walk only zone has been designated on the
downhill section of the bike course that starts at Barons Point.
The end of the walking zone will be marked on race day by an orange safety
cone. Race participants must walk their bicycle while traveling downhill inside
this area. During the return to the swim transition area, while traveling uphill,
there is no restriction.
Any race participant who violates the walk only rule during the downhill portion of
the bike route will be eliminated from prize contention (No Exceptions).
