Important USAT Elegibility & Rules:
This event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and all standards and competitive rules will apply. To obtain complete rules, click here.

A photo Id and USAT Membership card is required at packet pickup.

Per USAT Rules, if you do not have a USAT card at packet pickup, you will be charged $9 non-refundable for a one day license, even if you are a USAT member.

If you purchased a yearly license and have not received the card from USAT, you must print a temporary card from USAT's website, (click here to print card), or you will be charged a $9 non-refundable one day fee.

If you are not a USAT member, you will be required to purchase a one day license for $9 when you register online or at packet pickup location. We highly recommend that all participants purchase an annual USAT license rather than a single day license.  The cost is $30 and provides the holder with insurance for all USAT sanctioned events for an entire year.  It also comes with many other benefits and coupons for on-line purchases.  See www.usatriathlon.org for more information.  Fees from a single one-day license may be applied to the purchase of an annual license, so keep your receipt.

Huntington's Disease:
Huntington's Disease (HD) is an inherited degenerative brain disorder which results in loss of both mental capability and physical control. HD usually strikes between the ages of 30 and 50. Over a period of 10-15 years, the ability to think, speak, walk and perform the daily tasks of living is greatly diminished. The affected individual is frequently a parent whose children have 50% chance of inheriting the disease themselves. There is no cure for Huntington's Disease.

Where Does Your Money Goes:
The South Florida Chapter of the Huntington's Disease Society of America was established in 1990. The chapter is built on volunteers and is dedicated to improving the care of those suffering from Huntington's Disease and to its eradication through research. 100% of all proceeds from the Huntington's Disease Triathlon will go directly to research.
