Napa Valley Sprint Triathlon

The following cutoff times are cumulative from the start of the last swim wave:

• SWIM: 25 minutes
  If our swim staff determines that you are not on pace to complete the swim in time to meet the cutoff, you will be picked up by a boat and brought to shore. You will be allowed to continue with the bike and run, but you will not be eligible for awards.
• BIKE: 2 hours
  If our bike course staff determines that you are not on pace to complete the bike within the allotted time frame, you will be either be picked up by a SAG vehicle and transported to the transition/finish area, or you will be instructed to turn around early to shorten your bike distance and allow you to make the cutoff. You will be allowed to continue in the event, but you will not be eligible for awards.
• RUN: 3 hours
  If course officials determine that you are not on pace to make the 3 hour course cutoff, you will be instructed to turn around early. Even though you will not be eligible for awards, you may still cross the finish line and you are entitled to a finisher's medal and T-shirt.

Course cutoffs are determined with respect to the parameters outlined in our special event permits and police contracts for this event. These cutoffs are NOT optional. It is not the individual athlete's prerogative to continue because he or she is determined to complete the entire course. As a participant in this event, you are subject to the conditions outlined in our permits and must comply with all directions given by race staff and volunteers. Failure to comply will result in disqualification from the event!
