- Duathlon-Sprint – 5km run/ 20 km bike/ 2.5km run, individual, team or just do one length
- Duathlon-Enticer – 2 km run / 10 km bike/ 1 km run, individual, team or just do one length

- Kids 500m run/ 2.5km ride/ 250m run
This year, for all multisport triathlon events, athletes can chose to register just one leg of each event. For both Sprint and Enticer distances, an athlete can select to participate in all legs of the race, race as a team, or just race in one section such as bike only or run only. This is a great option for those new to triathlon, or those who wish to race in one leg. For those racing in just one leg, such as bike only or run only, a time will be recorded. However, the bike only or run only will not receive a medal.
On the morning of the race the Race Director and Race Referee will do an inspection of the course and manage any risks accordingly. We sincerely hope you all have a great race, lots of fun, support your fellow competitors, respect and thank all the volunteers who have given up their time to allow you to race and we hope you achieve every single one of your racing goals!

On registration you will be provided with a timing chip and a race number, which will need to be placed on your leg and arm. Make sure the race chip and number are applied immediately.

Bike check-in is compulsory for all individuals and at least one team member. Please wear your helmet for the check-in. Immediately prior to bike check-in Triathlon Queensland (TQ) officials will carry out a visual inspection of your helmet. Your helmet therefore must be correctly fastened on your head when you present your bike for check-in. This visual inspection is not a certification of function or safety effectiveness.
TQ officials will visually inspect your bike and no bike will be accepted unless it passes the inspection. The officials will be checking for: handlebar plugs, tyres in reasonable condition, stripped cables etc. The ends of the handlebars must be plugged – please ensure no bare metal. The bike must have two functional brakes.
Please note that the bike check-in is a safety precaution to monitor basic soundness of your bike and is essentially a visual check on obvious defects. It is not a certification of roadworthiness by TQ or that your bike meets any specific minimum criteria or a guarantee it will not break down during the race. It is your sole responsibility to ensure the mechanical and safe operation of your bike prior to and during the race.
Withdrawals during the Race
If you have to withdraw at any stage of the race you (or someone representing you, such as a relative or friend) MUST report to the recorders at the finish Line.
Recovery
A recovery station will be set up near the finish with fruit, snacks and water. Please help yourself and make sure you get some sugar back into your system to aid recovery. Please make sure you dispose of your rubbish thoughtfully.
Post-Race

You will be withdrawn from the race only if you require transportation or if medical personnel consider your continued participation presents a danger to the health or welfare of you or others. Feel free to refer to the full race rules at: http://www.triathlon.org.au/Technical/Race_Competition_Rules.htm
If you must withdraw at any stage of the race you (or someone representing you, such as a relative or friend) MUST report to the recorders at the Finish Line and hand back your chip so we can ensure you are accounted for and no lost.
A recovery station will be set up near the finish with water. Please help yourself to aid recovery. Note that no food will be provided. We ask that you make sure to dispose of your rubbish thoughtfully. We need to leave the area as we
found it.
Please hang around for presentations, approximately 20 minutes after the last finisher.
If a participant can no longer attend, there will be no refunds, transfers or deferrals available after registration has closed. Transfer to a future event will only be available while registration remains open. If a participant wishes to withdraw from an event, the event organiser must be notified in writing via email to info@cairnscrocs.org.au.
Triathlon Australia regulations prevent kids and juniors from receiving placement medals although all juniors and kids race participants will receive a finishing medal upon completion of the course.
