Training sessions: - All registered participants may attend the free training sessions to get them familiar with the race course, transitions and get any questions answered. We highly recommend these sessions to assure your racer they will be comfortable on race day. All sessions will be held on location at Cary Park (meet in the club parking lot) and conducted by KIT staff. Bring everything you would on race day as we will ride and run the course.

Kids! - If you want to have a fun race you must prepare for it so make sure you train well before the event. Whatever your distance is for the race, swim, bike or run that distance slowly until you can complete it without stopping. Then try combining a swim/bike, swim/run or a bike/run, which is called a "brick". When you can do the bricks comfortably, try the single or brick distance a bit faster, even if sometimes you have to take short jogs in between intervals. Try to get in 3-5 sessions per week and make sure you get your parents to try it as well!

Refund Policy: All but $10 of your registration fee will be refunded until May 13 or until the race fills, whichever comes first. If the race fills, 50% of your entry will be refunded until May 13


**NO Refunds after May 13**
**Race registrations are non-transferable**


In the event of inclement weather, the race directors have the right to reschedule the start time and/or cancel the competition. Delays or cancellation will be posted on our phone line the morning of the event by 7am. Unfortunately, due to costs that will have already incurred, we will not be able to refund fees; however, will do our best to reschedule the event at a later date.
