You may change your distance or division up until 6PM at the race site on race day. If you decide to change your distance after that time or mid-race - you’ll be ineligible for awards.
Who Can Swim: Anyone who can safely manage the distance they’re registering for is welcome to participate! Enter either the wetsuit or non-wetsuit division. We’ve set a minimum age of 12 to participate - if you are younger than that, you’ll need to prove you can make it first! Contact Patty to work out the details or to make your case.
Who’s Behind all this? The City of Kent is providing the park, the beach, and the lifeguards. Raise the Bar is providing the Event organization.
You can compete in either the Wetsuit or non-wetsuit division for any distance. If you desire a wetsuit and don’t own one yet, RTB has a fleet of XTERRA Wetsuits that we can offer on a first-come, first-served basis for $15 day of race. You can indicate your desire to rent a wetsuit when you register online. Please, if you are taking on a new or challenging distance, WEAR A WETSUIT!! An RTB rep will contact you about the availability of wetsuits and details. Contact us with questions.
Race at the August 13th event and be eligible to win a free XTERRA Wetsuit!!
The BBQ will be burgers, baked beans, and watermelon. Participating athletes and volunteers eat for free! Family members and spectators can eat for $4. Food guaranteed for registered athletes!

Not to spoil anyone’s fun, but there are a few guidelines.....
1) If you get into some trouble and need help, wave your hand above your head and call for help. A lifeguard, police officer, kayaker, or other water staff will happily help you.
2) The race distance/division you start in is the distance you’ll receive an official finishing time for. For example, if you sign up for the 2.4 miler and decide to stop after the 1st lap and only swim 1.2 - that’s just fine with us - but you won’t be counted in the results for the 1.2 race. Also - If you begin the race in the wetsuit division and decide to finish the race sans-wetsuit, your time will stand in the wetsuit division. (don’t laugh - it’s happened!)
