Longmont Triathlon Race Course Information:

525 Yard Pool Swim

Transition Area:

We have an open transition area. What this means is that you will not need to have your bike racked before the race begins, but can rack it prior to your start. What this also means, is you will need to be courteous to the racers in progress. Please do this by:

Heat List:

Ht = Your heat. Heats will be called by letter. All "A" swimmers will go first, followed by all "B" swimmers, then all "C" swimmers. The number designates the start sequence within your heat. Example: as the swimmers from the previous heat exit the pool, all "D1" swimmers will be grouped in the first available lane, All D2 swimmers in the next lane, etc. Please follow the direction of the swim coordinators so we can have a smooth start to a fun day!

Estimate = The predicted 500 yards swim time you submitted when you entered the race. All swimmers have been seeded by their estimated swim time, and all swimmers in your lane will have similar predicted swim times.

Start = Approximate Start Time for your Swim. Please be ready 15 minutes prior to your estimated swim time. Announcements will be made throughout the morning regarding the progress of swim starts. Your heat will be called to the pool shortly before your swim start. Swim heats will go from slowest to fastest, so heats will run quicker (and closer together) as the morning goes on.

Chips will be distributed in the pool area just before you enter the water. This will allow you to pass in and out of transition prior to the start of your heat, without recording erroneous splits as you cross the timing mats.

Body Marking and Race Number

Body marking will be done at the Packet Pick up tent on race day. Your race number must be worn on the front of your body during the entire run portion of the event.

Triathlon Teams

Triathlon teams may consist of two or three athletes. Awards will be given to the Overall Team and top two finishing teams in two categories.

Teams should use the same registration form. All team members need to sign the waiver, so make sure all persons have signed the waiver before sending it in. The person paying should be the primary person filling out the name, address, phone, etc., information on the registration form. List the names of the swimmer, biker and runner in the spaces provided on the form. The runner on the team wears the race number on the front of your body during the entire run portion of the event. Teams will "tag" each other by passing along the timing chip.

A Brief History of the Longmont Triathlon

In 1981, the first Longmont Triathlon started with 56 participants. The event was held as 3 separate events. The run was a 10K that started at 9am, the 25 mile bike race started at noon and the 1000 meter swim began at 3pm - truly an all day event! There were no transition times, but the times for all 3 individual events were added together to determine the winner. Overall winners that year were Patti McNitt and Dennis Wilson, both in the 20-29 age category. The cost for the race, which included a 50/50 t-shirt and refreshments, was $12. The oldest age group offered was 40 and over. This format continued for one more year with the bike changing from 25 miles to 19 in the second year. In subsequent years, the race was combined so all events were consecutive. In addition, the course has seen numerous changes most dictated by road construction and the growth of Longmont on the East side of town. The Longmont Triathlon is becoming a historic event in Longmont and we are looking forward to our 30th year in 2010!
