DIVISIONS:
OPEN DIVISION:  Usually comprised of highly competitive athletes who are competing for prize money.  Persons competing in the Open Division will not have their results used by USA Triathlon for National Ranking purposes.  The Open Division participants will start in the first wave of the race at 8:00 AM.  This is usually not the best wave for first timers or novice triathletes.

TEAM DIVISION:  Generally made up of three athletes each completing one segment of the event. Each team members should fill out an application and designate the segment they are doing.  Team applications (unless registering on-line) must be mailed together.  A team may be made up of two athletes where one person completes more than one segment.  Teams will compete in one of the following categories: Womens Teams, Mens Teams, Mixed Teams or Military Teams.

PLEASE NOTE:  If any team member fails to complete their segment of the event, the team is disqualified and the other team members will not be permitted to continue in the event, even in an unofficial capacity.
