Is there a bike check this year? Sanctioned events are no longer required to provide bike checks. Unfortunately, due to liability reasons, this practice has been removed for a number of years.
Under ITU/Triathlon Canada regulations, it is the onus of the athlete to arrive at the event with a safe, properly maintained and functioning bicycle. We would like to thank Simon's Cycles for providing us with great service over the years and they continue to be a strong supporter of the event.

Swim
I registered in the Just Tri-It division, but was quite off in the approx. swim time entered. Can I amend that time so I'll be placed with swimmers closer to my actual speed? yes- just send as an email with the correct time. please remember to give us your entry number.
Are swimmers in the mini team category able to choose their preferred stroke? they can use any stroke they like
On the registration page it specifies 500m (20 lengths) for the Adult Sprint Race. Is this correct or is it 750m (30 lengths) as it previously was and as most sprint races are? 500meters (20 lengths)
The swim for the "Just Try It" seems to be of different lengths depending on if you're reading the intro page or the registration page? Is it 20 or 30 lengths? Thank you 500meters (20 lengths)
Bike
Last year the 10-11 year olds biked 10 km if they were on a team. This years website indicates 5km. Is this a typo or a change in distances? We are sanctioned this year by Triathlon BC and have some different rules to follow. One of the rules is a change of distances.
What's the bike route? http://www.trik.ca/race_details.php

For the mini's; in the untimely event of a flat, or some other malfunction, is there any help provided or allowed? No help is allowed- as per the rules each participant is solely responsible. Getting help is automatic disqualification
Run
I am doing the sprint run for the first time. A friend did it several years ago and took me through the fairground trails today. Has this route changed over the years? I clocked 2 loops through the trails as 3 km. This added on to the rest of the sprint r The run course changed recently to comply with TriBC Rules and distances. The Sprint race course is approximately 5km. From the track the course loops up around the school, down Vanier school driveway, across the farmers market field, into the trails, where two 1 km laps are run then back to the track from Vanier driveway. Everyone doing the Sprint course runs the same route.
Duathlon
can the duathlon consist of a team of 2 or does it need to be individual? I am looking to do the running and my boyfriend would like to do the bike ride.... The duathlon can not be done as a team. It is an indivual event only.

is it possible for a team to enter and a member does a seperate leg of the race? such as one would do the swim and another the bike? I am asking as I feel it would be an awesome team build for my management team. Thanks! A team is made of up of each person doing a different leg of the event.
