TRIATHLETES:

Wet suits:  Athletes don't need a wet suite to participate, it's an option if water temperatures are at or below 78 degrees.  USAT guidelines state: USAT rules state that competitors may wear wetsuits if the water temperature is 78 degrees or lower. USAT rules also state that if the water temperature is between 78.1 - 83.9 degrees, competitors may wear wetsuits but will not be eligible for awards.

Race day water temperature should be hovering around 78.  Check back for more up to date information regarding the temperatures of Lake Norfork.  

USA Triathlon Fees:  In addition to registration, athletes will need to purchase a USAT Membership for either $15 for a one-day membership or $50 for an annual membership.  This process is handled through the online registration platform.  Athletes will have the option to verify their current USAT membership, renew a membership, or purchase a new membership.
