• Olympic Distance
1500m course. A straight swim from beach on Spike Island to swim exit in Cobh.
Buoys will be in place to guide swimmers.
• Sprint Distance
750m course. A straight swim along the waterfront. Buoys will be in place to help
guide swimmers.
Wetsuits are compulsory and swim caps will be provided. No wetsuit or issued swim
hat, no triathlon. Swimmers will be asked to seed themselves, with elite and stronger
swimmers to the front and weaker swimmers to the rear. Please be sensible here as
the swim start can be quite physical with competitors jostling for position. If in any
doubt stay to the rear. The swim will start in the water and swimmers will swim
straight following marker buoys.
There will be boats and kayaks on duty to help assist swimmers. There is a swim cut
of of 30 minutes for sprint and 60 minutes for the olympic distance, which will be
enforced. Organisers reserve the right to remove a swimmer from the water if they
feel they are endangering themselves, members of the rescue team or other swimmers.
If a swimmer wished to retire from the swim for any reason, lie on your back, raise
your clenched fist in the air, stay calm and a rescue personnel will come to your
assistance. You will be allowed to continue the race if you do wish to do so but will
receive no official time/your timing chip will be removed. Ensure you pass over the
time keeping mat/receiver after your swim when entering transition.

BIKE
• Olympic Distance 40km (4 laps)
• Sprint Distance 20km (2 laps)
Helmets are mandatory. Race number must be worn on the back. Competitors will
NOT be allowed out of transition unless their race number is clearly visible. Your
number must be clearly visible to the rear. To avoid delays to your time please help
us help you!
You must put on your helmet and fasten it before removing your bike from transition
area. You must exit onto the road through/over the timekeeping receiver/mat before
mounting your bike at the designated line/mark on the road. Do not mount your bike
before this point or you will incur a 2 minute time penalty. Similarly on your return
you must dismount your bike on/before the line/mark on the road before re-entering
transition area. Marshalls will be present to inform you of both mounting and
dismounting. You must replace your bike on the rack in your own spot before
removing your helmet. Do not unfasten or take off your helmet before racking your
bike.
Bike Route
The bike route is a looped course with two around points. One is in the town centre
by transition and the other is out by Cobh Golf Club on the road out of Cobh. Cautionshould be taken at turnaround points and these will be well marshalled. Atheletes will
be warned to slow down at both turnaround points. The route will be well sign posted
and is generally a flat cycle route. Rules of the road apply. Please obey the Gardai
and stewards at all times. Failure to do so will lead to disqualification.
On your return you must dismount on or before the dismount line, stewards will warn
cyclists to prepare to slow down/dismount.
Drafting
Under no circumstances will drafting be allowed. Draft marshalls WILL BE in
attendance.
Draft rules reminder
You are drafting if you enter a box around the leading athlete 12m x 13m measured
from front wheel to front wheel unless you are making progress through the draft zone
to overtake and complete the move in 20 seconds.
Penalties for Drafting:
A) It is forbidden to draft in a race declared as draft-illegal.
B) Technical officials will notify the athletes who draft they are subject to a time
penalty sanction. This notification must be clear and unambiguous.
C) The athlete sanctioned has to stop in the next penalty box and must stay there
for a specific time depending on the race distance. 2 minutes for sprint distance, 4
minutes for standard (olympic) distance
D) It is the athlete's responsibility to stop in the next penalty box. Failure to stop
will result in disqualification.
E) A second drafting offence will lead to disqualification in standard distance
events or shorter.
F) The third drafting offence will lead to disqualification for long distance events.
Finally and sadly there have been several accusations of pacing and coaching eg.
athletes from the same club actively swimming, biking and running together. Like
drafting, pacing is a form of cheating. Gaining an unfair advantage by these means is
against the rules and not in the spirit of competition.TRANSITION

RUN
• Olympic Distance 10km (4 loops)
• Sprint Distance 5km (2 loops)
The run is a looped course. From the transition area turn left, and follow the marked
route out along the waterfront. There will be a water station on the way back towards
town. Please keep left on the side of the water station at this stage. The route will be
well marshalled so please pay attention to stewards on the course. Also keep note of
the number of loops you are supposed to perform.CAR PARKING:
Cobh is quite compact around the town area and therefore, there is very little parking
in the centre of town, particularly in the race areas. Please use the car parks that
stewards indicate to go to.
Car Park Number 1: Cathedral Car Park: Follow above instructions, but drive past
St Mary’s National School and take the second left. The Cathedral car park is straight
up on the right. It is a short walk down the hill to Registration and Transition area.
Car Park Number 2: Five Foot Way Car Park. This car park is on the run circuit and
close to the Sprint swim. However you will not be be able to exit this car park until all
competitors have completed the race. Drive into Cobh Town Centre, head towards the
Heritage Centre and Stewards will guide you to you parking spot. This car park is for
Jailbreak Triathlon competitors only, and can only be accessed via the Heritage
Centre Entrance on the day of the race.
