USAT Sanctioning
Tri Chewacla Sprint Triathlon is a USAT sanctioned event. This sanctioning process ensures that the event organizers have taken outlined steps to ensure a safe and fair race. It also allows USAT athletes the ability to compete in quality events and potentially become a nationally ranked athlete.

In accordance with USAT requirements, all competitors at all USAT sanctioned events must have a USAT license. You may purchase an annual license, which is $45 at their website. You may also purchase a one-day license for $12 when registering for the event. USAT members must present their current membership card at packet pick-up, or they will be required to purchase a one-day license at that time.

Wave Swim Start
The Tri Chewacla Sprint Triahtlon swim will take place at Lake Chewacla inside the Chewacla State Park. This event will feature a wave start, which means that athletes will start in groups of 10-40 and swim a 500 yard course around the lake. Each athlete will have a timing chip on their ankle, so their individual time will not start until their wave begins.

Awards
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards will be presented to the winners of each age group.

Relay
For those who prefer to race one or two segments of Tri Chewacla, Tri Auburn is offering a relay option.  Relay teams will consist of two or three person teams where each member will complete one or two segments of the event and “pass the baton” to the next member in the transition area.  There are no age groups for the relay division, relay teams will compete for the top 3 fastest relay teams.

Every racer will get an event t-shirt, a swim cap, and a packet filled with sponsor gifts and promotions. Every finisher will receive a finisher’s medal.
