RULES AND GUIDLINES
Participant numbers and/or Champion chips cannot be transferred or exchanged as they are assigned to specific age/sex categories.

Participant Numbers:

• Wear your number on the front of your shirt or shorts.
• Participant numbers must be visible to checkpoint recorders at all times
• Participants not wearing numbers will not be scored.

Champion Chip:

• Attach your Champion Chip to your ankle with the provided strap.
• Your Champion Chip will be detached by race personnel at the end of the race and must not be removed by any participant prior to the finish, since it will be used to verify placement.
• Participants not wearing a Champion Chip will not be scored.
• Participants who do not return their Champion Chip will be charged $35.

WETSUIT RULES:
Each age group participant shall be permitted to wear a wet suit without penalty up to and including a water temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit. When the water temperature is greater than 78 degrees, but less than 84 degrees Fahrenheit, age group participants may wear a wet suit at their own discretion, provided however that participants who wear a wet suit within this temperature range shall not be eligible for prizes or awards. Age group participants shall not wear wet suits in water temperatures equal to or greater than 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A final determination on whether wetsuits will be allowed will be made the morning of the race.

Finish Line procedures:

• You must continue running or walking until you cross the finish line. The race is not over until you cross the sensor mats.
• You will not be scored at the finish line unless your number is visible and your Champion Chip is attached when you cross the finish line.
• Participants must not recross the finish line for any reason after completing the race. This action would trigger the reading of an erroneous finish time.
• Unofficial finishing times will be displayed above the finish line.
• Refreshments will be available to participants after they have passed through the finish area.
• Cancellation or Delay of race: Tri del Sol may be delayed or cancelled due to adverse weather. Should the race be delayed, the race will not be delayed longer than one hour (9:00 am). If the delay is longer than one hour, the race will be canceled. The race director, in accordance with Tri del Sol executives and local law enforcement, has the authority to cancel the race. If cancellation of the race is initiated at any time during the race, please follow instructions of the race officials and local law enforcement personnel. Your entry fee is not refundable if the Tri del Sol is cancelled.
