Race Information

• You’ll love our swag!  All athletes receive a Tri-Blend Race Shirt, Custom Race Socks and all finishers will receive a super cool, Diamond in the Rough themed Finisher’s Medal.  Also, don’t forget the DJ, bounce house for the kids and fabulous post race food.
• All athletes must stay in the park until the bike route is clear of incoming bikes.  If you must leave prior to the bike course being clear you MUST park outside the park at the fire department lot, approximately 1 mile from the race site.  If you park inside the park, all cars will be “locked in” until the police deem the roads safe to allow cars to exit.  Our goal is a safe race for ALL athletes and we appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
