Please be honest when you tell us your expected swim time; use your last 400m time, or your average 100m time as a guide.

If you want to overtake someone please do so; just tap the person’s feet in front of you to let them know. If you get a tap please allow the swimmer behind to overtake you.

The run is 1 lap. Its out and back across multi terrain including trails so remember to bring trail shoes if its wet.
