Course Notes:

• The swim will be in a 25 yard indoor pool.
• The new bike course is a great new course on country roads as well as newly paved roads.  The new course is one loop and was revised to alleviate any wash out areas in case of rain the week of the race.
• The run course starts at McKinney High School & winds through a new housing development north east of the high school, continuing through old McKinney, downtown square and ends at the high school.
• Aid stations will be located approximately every 1 mile. Each aid station is equipped with water and Powerade.

The course officially closes at 11am for all participants. All participants must observe all cut-off times and USAT rules and regulations. Failure to meet cut-off times will result in disqualification and removal from the course.

Chip Timing by Run-Far 

The Sprint Triathlon is a chip-timed event. Each triathlon participant will be required to wear a timing chip in order to be counted in the results. Timing chips are assigned to participants according to bib number. Triathlon participants should pick up your timing chip the morning of the race at the chip timing station an hour before race start after being body-marked. ALL TIMING CHIPS SHOULD BE RETURNED AFTER YOU CROSS THE FINISH LINE. A $30.00 fee will be charged to the participant if the timing chip is not returned.  Awards are based on chip times.
