Is there a mass start for Outlaw Original and Aquabike?

The Outlaw Original is a Mass start.


You will be allocated a Race Number based on the estimated swim time you gave us at entry which you can update until 4 weeks before the event. However you can start wherever you feel comfortable. 


Access to the water will be over a timing mat and down one of the four ramps between the concrete pontoons. We recommend that faster athletes start in the bay on the far side of the lake and the slower athletes stay closer to the main building side (see diagram below). Please take care when walking down the ramps as they can be slippery and only go a few metres into the water. Once you are at about crotch depth they finish and you are into the deeper water. 


More confident athletes will start in the deep water. Less confident athletes are welcome to wait a little until the bulk of swimmers are away. However, please remember that this time will be included in your overall time. Your swim time will start when the starter horn sounds. If you would like to get in slowly and acclimatise please make sure to get to the swim start area in plenty of time. 

When you start swimming you will need to round the first large yellow buoy before making your way up the lake.
