2019 Tri Tilghman Athlete Guide

 

WELCOME

Welcome to the 2019 Tri Tilghman event, consisting of a 3 mile kayak, 10 mile bike ride and 3.1 mile run. This event has traditionally been put on by the staff at the Phillips Wharf Environmental Center as a benefit to their program. This year the event was out of the mission of their agency and was on the chopping block. We, at TCR Event Management, have been a part of the event every year and wanted to keep the event going. We are going to make it bigger and better than you have ever seen it, so we are glad that you could join us for this re-boot of the event!

LOCATION

Phillips Wharf Environmental Center is located at 6129 Tilghman Island Road, Tilghman Island, MD. Parking will be on the property, as will the transition area. There is a kayak launch on property.

TIMES

Packet Pickup will start at 7am on Saturday, 9/21. We encourage participants of the events to be prepared to push off, and start, at 8am with the kayak portion of the event. The total number of participants for the event will determine how many kayaks will start at a time. All kayaks will start in water.

Bike Ride/Run Only Start Time – If you are participating in the RIDE or RUN only, you will be asked to start when the first rider and/or the first runner from the full event begins their section. This will ensure that our safety and volunteer personnel are ready to assist.

START TIME WILL BE 8AM FOR WAVE ONE OF THE KAYAK

 

 

 

COURSE

 

KAYAK/SUP

The Kayak portion of the event will start with all kayakers/Stand-Up Paddleboards in the water. You are able to launch your craft right from the PWEC property. We ask that you wear a Personal Flotation Device (PFD), for your safety. This applies to all Stand Up Paddleboarders as well. If you do not have your PFD, please let organizers know and we will try to accommodate you.
