Wetsuits:
Many people call and email before the race asking whether wetsuits will be allowed. We won't know until race day. That's all we will be able to tell you. Some years wetsuits have been allowed. Other years the water has been too warm and they haven't.

We also get questions before race day regarding the water temperature. We won't know what the water temperature is in Lake Hartwell. It could change on race morning anyway.

So bring your wetsuit!
