Swim Starts
The parent/guardian is responsible for getting the athlete to the event with sufficient time to be ready for his/her swim start.
Each athlete will be assigned a specific start time, based on his/her pre-assigned race number.
Missing the start time will mean missing the event. The organizers will try to accommodate any unusual circumstances
but there is no guarantee that such can be done.
Swim Aids
Swim aids such as kickboards or non-inflatable flotation devices will be allowed. Kickboards will be available at the pool.
Inflatable flotation devices are not allowed in the
Oregon community pool, and will not be allowed for use in this event.
No performance enhancing devices such as fins will be allowed.
Training Wheels
Training wheels will be allowed.
Non-finishers
Athletes not finishing the event will receive a participant's medal.
Non-finishers will have no posted times.
Disqualification
Athletes that finish the race but do not complete the total distance of the course
(e.g., less than the required laps, short-cutting the course) will be disqualified.
Unsportsman-like conduct is also grounds for disqualification.
Volunteers will be monitoring the course and transition area for infractions. Disqualified athletes will receive a
participation medal but will be ineligible for podium awards (i.e., 1st, 2nd, 3rd place in age group) and will not have
their times posted.
Age-Limits
The upper age limit is 17 years old at the time of the event. The lower age limit is 5, but parents/guardians
should assess the child's abilities to complete the prescribed course. The Oregon Kids Triathlon is conducted to be a positive
experience and no child should be entered that is not going to benefit from the experience. Being asked to perform beyond
one's abilities may not be a positive experience.
Relays
There are no relay teams. Only one athlete is permitted per race number.
Refunds
There will be no refunds for any reason.
Transition Area
No parents or guardians are permitted in the transition area.
Exceptions are for the 5-6 and 7-8 age-groups where one parent may assist the athlete if needed. Volunteers will
be present to assist the athletes and to restrict access. Permission to enter to assist an athlete must be granted by the
entrance monitor.
