  Helmet use is mandatory. All racers are required to wear a CPSC, ANSI, or SNELL certified bicycling helmet while biking.
• Mountain bikes with at least a front suspension system are recommended. Racers using cyclocross bikes will not receive an official time.

Wetsuits:

Wetsuits have never been permitted at the XTERRA EX2 Off-Road Triathlon because the water temperature has consistently been between 75-78 degrees on race day in mid-July. We take and post the water temperature on the morning of the race. XTERRA wetsuits has a rental program BUT IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY that wetsuits will be permitted for this race.

XTERRA rules on wetsuits differ from those of USA Triathlon so we use the International Triathlon Union (ITU) wetsuit rules. Here are the specifics:

For Age Group Athletes:

• Wetsuits are mandatory if the water temperature is BELOW 57 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees C)
• Wetsuits are permitted if the water temperature is AT or BELOW 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees C)
• Wetsuits are forbidden if the water temperature is ABOVE 72 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees C)

For Professional Athletes:

  Wetsuits are mandatory if the water temperature is BELOW 57 degrees Fahrenheit (14 degrees C)
• Wetsuits are permitted if the water temperature is AT or BELOW 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees C).
• Wetsuits are forbidden if the water temperature is ABOVE 68 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees C).
