What are the rules?
The Dirty Du and cyclo-cross events will follow USAT rules. You may view the full list of rules at www.usatriathlon.org. A USAT license will be required to participate in either event. The trail runs will not require a USAT license.
What kind of equipment do I need to do a race?
There are a few bare essentials that you need to do a race. You will need a mountain bike (anything that is off road worthy will do. No need to have a high tech full suspension racing bike), you must have an ANSI/Snell/CSA certified bike helmet (all bike helmets sold today in the US are certified), and running shoes of some kind. That's the bare minimum, really. You may want a hat for the run, sunglasses for the bike and run, a water bottle or two on the bike is a good idea as well. After that, things like clipless pedals, fancy wheels for your bike, off road racing flats to run in, etc. are all extras.
