    Pertinent Information
    There is one official time clock. The clock starts when teams start and stops when last team crosses finish line. The clock does not stop during the race for any reason. When on the racecourse teams must remain in view of each other at all times. There will be a distance limitation of 100 feet maximum, between team members. Teams who enter a checkpoint or transition area separated will be immediately disqualified and asked to leave the course. Helmet must be worn at all times during biking sections and PFD must be worn at all times when in the water.

    Cutoff times will be determined prior to race day. Any cutoff points will be established to allow the safe management of teams throughout the course. Every attempt will be made to determine appropriate locations of cutoffs that will allow teams to continue on the course unranked for their enjoyment. This will be done through the elimination of sections of the course that does not allow unranked teams to cross the finish line prior to the winning teams.

    Map reading skills are required. Teams will have to make decisions on which way to go. Only in extreme (emergency, safety) conditions will a route be marked.

    Additional Information
    Team Captains will be notified as soon as possible of any changes or additions the course. Teams will share the streets with local citizens of the city of Milwaukee. Racers must obey all laws, be aware of traffic and other hazards.
