  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:

XTERRA rules on wetsuits differ from those of USA Triathlon. Several considerations are involved; In general XTERRA swims are short and athletes are not in the water as long as (for example) an Iron distance swim and XTERRA’s are a cut tougher than the usual road tri and we prefer using 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:
