Each row of bike racks will accommodate a certain sequence of numbers which will be marked at the end of each row. As long as you rack in the correct row, you can rack anywhere along that row.

BIKE RACKING PROCEDURE:

Each bike rack holds two bikes – one facing in each direction

Rack your bike in the right hand position:This will mean athletes racking on the other side of the rack will also be on their right hand side – keeping transition well spaced.Limited space:There is limited space between each bike rack, which is why you need to keep your race items in the bucket and your transition area clear.

BIKE RACKING PROCEDURE:

Once your bike is racked – proceed to the bucket transition area to hand over your buckets and for body marking.

THE SWIM – remember to bring your Jailbreak cap!WETSUIT USAGE: The Chief Race Referee will take a water temperature reading on the morning of the race to make a final decision as to whether wetsuits will be worn. While it is more than likely wetsuits will be permitted, there is a possibility that the water temperature may be too high.

Remember that no inmate will be allowed to escape without the Jailbreak swim cap.

MINIMUM ESCAPE:

Inmates will be required to complete one lap of the swim course.

Feather banners will be on the shore to guide escapees back to the swim exit and buoys will be clearly placed to direct inmates around the course.

MAXIMUM ESCAPE:

Feather banners will be on the shore to guide escapees back to the swim exit and buoys will be clearly placed to direct inmates around the course.

The buckets will be on your left as you summit the steep hill leading up to the grassy area. Shout out your number to the accomplices as you approach to help them help you retrieve your bucket.
