Zone4 Chip Timing for instant results
RMTri does have specific cutoff times for the events. The Cut off times are very reasonable for all athletes will be able to complete each stage of the race before they are enforced. We do reserve the right to pull an athlete off the course if at any time we feel the course has become unsafe or that we cannot safely support them. RMTri will make every effort to support our athletes to successfully complete the race.
Complete splits and final results will be available at the park on race day, within minutes of finishing your results of hours of the last finisher. They will be posted on www.windburnraceteam.com website as well as this website and Triathlon Manitoba by Monday afternoon following the race.
Yes, RMTri offers both two and three person relays in the Triathlon/Duathlon events. Make sure you check the correct ”Triathlon/Duathlon relay” box at signup
The most asked question! As Clear Lake is a spring fed lake the temperature can vary from year to year. Over the last ten years the water temperature has averaged 19C. Wetsuits are strongly recommended for 2022 (Will be determined by Triathlon Manitoba Race Officials)
Yes, there will be buoys and kayaks on the swim course for "brief" assistance and as long as there isn't any forward progress you can proceed. If you do move forward you will be disqualified.
NOTE: IF the safety crew are needed elsewhere on the swim course you will need to resume or you will be asked to exit the water if you can't proceed. The Safety crew have full authority and you will be expected to follow instructions as they see fit. NO EXCEPTIONS
Yes, if you do not have your band you will have to go back and get it before you are allowed into transition. (In race kits)
Registration packages are given out at the Friday Check-in between 4:00 and 8pm. Each athlete must be present to pick up there own package. All members of a relay team must pick up their own package. Due to varying registration numbers, a complete registration package is not guaranteed for every racer.
Yes, preliminary results are posted before all athletes are in as time permits. They are posted on the information board by the kiosk in the transition area. It is important to know that these results are preliminary and not official. Once the official results are complied they will be posted and their official status duly noted.
The Park will not be allowing parking along Ta-Wa-Pit and Wasagaming Drive due to safety concerns. Please refer to the Parking Map, for a guide to the many free parking lots all within short walking distance to the Transition Zone.
