The Aiken Standard Kids Triathlon – Inclement Weather Plan

The Aiken Standard Kids Triathlon - Inclement Weather Plan

The safety of our athletes and volunteers is our primary concern. In the event of inclement weather, it is our goal to have the race if at all possible. The Race Director will monitor weather conditions closely and make any decisions regarding weather the morning of the event.

Please check our website - http://aikenkidstri.com. We will post any changing information there.

The event will NOT be cancelled or postponed due to rain alone. The race could be delayed under the following circumstances:
Lightning, Wind/Heavy Rains, Tornado Watch/Warning.
If there is lightning- the event will be postponed by 30 minutes. If lightning is closer than 6 miles away at 8:00AM using the Flash to Bang method, or if there is a tornado warning at that time, then the race start will be postponed by 30 minutes.

The race director will be in communication with law enforcement officials to determine the safety of the course and the weather conditions. Watch the website for updated information.
If it is determined that the bike portion of the race would be unsafe due to wet roads, then the race could be changed to a swim-run duathlon. Athletes will be informed of such a change via the website

Bottom line: We are planning for a great, Aiken Standard Kids Triathlon!
Watch our website to stay updated if the weather is inclement.
Thank you for racing with us!
