RULES & INFORMATION
The Texas Tri Series is composed of several triathlon events. Participants can complete the series by participating in all of the events. Participants will be given credit for participanting in an event if they finish the event as a competitor, or if they volunteer. The series will conclude with a finisher party.
- To participate in the series, you must register as a participant in the series prior to June 1st, 2009. Registration is online and will open on November 17th.
- To finish the series, you must register and finish, or volunteer at all events in the series. The events are listed on the EVENTS page.
- Participants must enter each event in the series by registering for each event individually.
- To receive credit for an event in the series, participants must be official finishers or official volunteers of each event. Relay finishes or Aquabike finishes do not count.
- To be tracked as a participant, you must wear your personal timing chip at each event. Volunteers do not need a personal timing chip, but must register online prior to the event. Personal timing chips may be purchased at www.run-far.com.
- In the case of an event rescheduling, participants must complete the event on the new date. If an event is cancelled, that event will be eliminated from the series.
- Series tracking and scoring is by two categories:
- Participation: Finish or Volunteer in all events.
- Cummulative Time: Age-group scoring based on total cummulative time in each of the events. For events with multiple distances, only the longest distance is used for time scoring. The time scoring events & distances are as follows:
- The Rookie
- Couples Triathlon
- Jack's Generic Triathlon
- The Austin Triathlon Olympic Distance
- Longhorn Half Iron
- Questions about the rules may be emailed to info@highfiveevents.com.
Yes. You must complete all of the events to finish the series, but you don't have to race each one. You may volunteer in any or all of the events. Volunteering counts for full credit towards completing the series.
Awards and clothing will be presented to everyone that completes the Texas Tri Series. In addition, there will be a finisher party with food, drinks, and tons of cool prizes. In 2007, we gave out a bicycle, 2 wheelsets, 2 wetsuits, 2 entries to all of the 2008 events, any much more.
You must register for the Texas Tri Series so that you may be tracked throughout the series. The registration is free.
Yes and No. Every finisher of the Texas Tri Series is a winner and treated equally. There is also a separate competion within the finishers to see who can complete the events in the shortest cummulative time.
You must do every event in the series to receive an overall cumulative time. In addition, if a particular event has more than one race distance, you must do the longest distance available at that event. At The Austin Triathlon you must do the olympic distance event, and at the Longhorn Triathlon you must do the half-iron distance.
No. You must participate or volunteer in each event as an individual in order to complete the series.
Yes. Equal credit is given for volunteering. In fact, you may complete the series just by volunteering if you like.
First, you must register as a volunteer online using your timing chip and/or USAT number if you have one. (Don't worry if you don't have a chip or USAT number. We'll figure out who you are.) Second, you must check in with the volunteer coordinator on the day of the event and complete your assignment.
You may do the distance of your choice and you will be given full credit for the series. However, if you are interested in tracking your overall cumulative time, then you must do the longest distance available at each event.
Personal timing chips may be purchased at www.run-far.com.
