Awards are race glasses that will NOT be mailed. If you miss the pick up after the race you will need to contact Eric at sagag@charter.net to arrange a pickup time for your award.

Special Considerations: Please note the following:
• Mountain bikes, ONLY for the overall and age group awards. Athletes must use mountain bike frames with 26-29 inch wheels, and tires with a minimum 1.5 inch width (no road tires allowed) and have some sort of knobby, raised pattern that covers more than 50% of the tire surface. So that means the slick portion of the tire is less than 50% of the tire surface.
* We will also have a special GRAVEL BIKE division, with the top 3 overall men and women each receiving an age group type award. Gravel bikes will NOT be included in the overall or age group awards.

OPEN WATER RIVER SWIMS
2025-06-20 08:00 - 09:00, 2025-06-21 08:00 - 09:00, 2025-06-27 08:00 - 09:00, 2025-06-28 08:00 - 09:00, 2025-07-04 08:00 - 09:00, 2025-07-05 08:00 - 09:00, 2025-07-11 08:00 - 09:00, 2025-07-18 08:00 - 09:00 and 2 more dates
OPEN WATER RIVER SWIMS! To help you get ready for our local triathlons, including the 70.3 in September, we will have open water river swims on most Friday and Saturday mornings starting June 20 at 8:00 am. No river swims when there is an event that day. Go to the Calendar at www.3RRR.org to see the list of Friday/Saturday swim days.
Meet at the public parking lot just upstream (north) of 178 Bradly Blvd in Richland (Marina Vista Estates townhouse complex) and we will carpool up to the start at Howard Amon Park. After we swim back down, you can use the warm water hose in Eric’s driveway to warm up and get the river muck off you and your wetsuit!
Some important notes about these swims. There is NO LIFEGUARD for these swims. If you show up to swim it means that you are capable of doing the swim without help from others. We may have an escort kayak/paddle board every now and then, but don’t count on that. Secondly, especially since we won’t always have an escort kayak, you must swim with a swim safety buoy to provide extra visibility to the boaters on the river. A brightly colored pool toy tethered to your ankle works, but the SaferSwimmer buoy (or other brands) usually have a dry bag within the buoy that is mighty handy for storing flops, keys, and whatever during your swim.
Forward any questions to Eric at sageg@charter.net.

The Righteous Richland Sprint Triathlon is July 12, 2025 and we will have 3 practice rides of the course prior to the race. The 3 rides are on June 21 and 28, and July 5. Meet at the south end parking lot at the Richland Community Center at 9:30 am and we ride from there. It’s good for all of us if you know the course before the race, so would be great if you could make at least one of these rides.
Also remember that we have practice swims of the course the same days, meeting at 8:00 am and you can get the details for the Open Water River Swims on the www.3RRR.org Calendar. Contact Eric at sageg@charter.net if you have any questions.

Chip Timing: Timing chips will be used to record split and finish times. Timing chips will be distributed race morning at check-in.

Awards After the Race: Check the Negative Split website on your phone at www.nsplit.com/results, or the paper copies posted at the picnic shelter, to see if you placed in your age group or were one of the top 3 overall men or women and you can collect your award after the race at the picnic shelter where you picked up your packet. Please give us a little time after the race to have your award ready for you, so you have plenty of time to stow your gear after the race before picking up your award. Awards are race glasses that will NOT be mailed. If you miss the pick up after the race you will need to contact Eric at sageg@charter.net to arrange a pickup time for your award.
Special Considerations: Please note the following:
• Mountain bikes, ONLY. Athletes must use mountain bike frames with 26-29 inch wheels, and tires with a minimum 1.5 inch width (no road tires allowed) and have some sort of knobby, raised pattern that covers more than 50% of the tire surface. So that means the slick portion of the tire is less than 50% of the tire surface.
* We will also have a special GRAVEL BIKE division, with the top 3 overall men and women each receiving an age group type award. Gravel bikes will NOT be included in the overall or age group awards.
