All participants are required to wear bike helmets during the bike portion of the event. Bike checks are not mandatory for the Salty Dog, but are required for all Salty Pup participants. Bike checks are availalbe by Harley's Bicycles in the gazebo at the end of the Splash parking lot. These services are available free of charge.

 

Parents/Guardians of Salty Pup participants are not allowed in the transition or race areas. A Salty Pup coordinator will be available that morning accompanying the youth to the swim area, and then helping them in the transition area as needed. For more information, contact Amy Conkling at aconkling@hutchrec.com.

 

In case of inclement weather, the event may be delayed up to three (3) hours from the original start time or cancelled, depending on severity of conditions. Safety of the participants is the top priority of Hutchinson Recreation Commission. Rain may cause unsafe bicycling or running conditions, as does lightning. Due to the costs and planning of putting together an event of this magnitutde, refunds will not be given. No make-up dates will be scheduled.
