REGISTRATION KICKOFF PARTY - SAT NOV 2, 2013 - TRU TRI SPORTS

REGISTRATION KICKOFF PARTY DETAILS: This Saturday, November 2, 2013 from Noon-3pm at Tru Tri Sports in Cypress. Their address is...  24324 Northwest Fwy, Cypress, TX 77429

At 2pm sharp we will be talking about all our races, answering any Q&A and giving out 2 free entries as well as an additional entry good for LIFE to any of our triathlons in the Houston area each year. Must be present to win.

As for everyone else, the way this works is... You show up, you put down your first and last name and your email along with the race or races you're interested in registering for. You do not register onsite. Later that day or the next day we will send you an email invite link that will directly take the kickoff party savings off the early registration amount. This keeps it quicker at the party and more convenient as long as you do it within 24 hours of getting the email invite.

YOU MAY SEND SOMEONE TO CHECKIN FOR YOU IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT TO THE PARTY.

We will only have registration available for Kemah Tri, Bridgeland Tri and Towne Lake Tri. Checkout any of the details on their websites, kematriathlon.com, bridgelandtriathlon.com and townelaketriathlon.com.

KEMAH TRIATHLON - WEATHER & CANCELATION POLICY

Rain- The event will NOT be cancelled due to rain alone unless the downpour is such that athletes, lifeguards, police, and volunteers lose visibility making situations unsafe. If this occurs we will wait until the rain subsides and follow the same procedure listed for lightning conditions (minus the 30 minute rule). If race officials determine that the bike portion of the race will be unsafe due to wet roads, the race will be changed to a swim-run duathlon. Athletes will be informed of such a change via announcements on race morning. 

Fog - Fog is not typically an issue. In the rare event that fog is so thick it poses a safety concern we will delay the start of the race until which time the fog has either lifted or too much time has passed to proceed as planned. In the event that too much time has passed to have the swim portion of the event we will follow the same procedure of progression as if there were lightning (minus the 30 minute rule).

Lightning- In the event of lightning the race will be postponed by 30 minutes every time lightning is spotted and thunder is heard within 6 miles of the event. If lightning is still within 6 miles at 6:00 AM, we will wait 30 minutes and reassess the conditions. We will do everything in our power to have some type of an event for everyone. WE WANT TO PROCEED AS PLANNED, but our number one goal is the safety of our athletes, staff, and volunteers. If that means we have to knock the distance down to a sprint starting from shore, instead of the boat, do a duathlon or shorten everything to a 10k, we will try our best for all of you. We will take it step at a time tomorrow and keep you updated every step of the way.

Cutoffs - We have to have all athletes out of the water no later than 9:45 AM, off the bike by 11:30 AM, and off the run course no later than 1:00 PM.

Tornado Warning - If at anytime before (race morning close to start time) or during the event, a tornado warning is issued, the race will be cancelled.   

On Course Cancelation - If the race is canceled due to storms (lightning and/or excessive rain) or tornado warnings while it is in progress we will do everything in our power to alert everyone on the course. All police, SAG, and medical personnel will be made aware and do all they can to warn and SAG in all participants. We will also do everything in our power to assist those that are still on course. Those that are on course without means of rescue should seek immediate shelter via open stores, buildings, garages, homes and/or any other means of protection from the dangerous conditions. If it gets bad and we are not there to help you off the course please do everything you can to keep yourself safe and take shelter.

Refunds - As listed on the registration page there are no refunds of any kind. Race morning is past the cutoff. In the event of a course alteration/change, delay, or cancelation, there will also be no refunds. Registration fees are spent long before the race begins on up front costs like police, traffic control, staff, food, vendors, contractors, awards, medals, volunteers, medical, permits, venue acquisition and athlete amenities.
