IMPERIALISTS 2-person relay (male, female, co-ed) Each person does a full triathlon, and then tags off to teammate. You have to alternate triathlons. In other words, one person cannot do two triathlons back-to-back. Be prepared for mechanical mishaps and fatigue. If there is a mechanical problem, you will need to solve it ASAP. Pace yourself, stay hydrated and eat right so you can finish strong. COMRADES 3-person relay (male, female, co-ed (any mix of male to female)) Each person does one segment in the triathlon. One person swims, and then tags off to biker, biker then tags off to runner. Each person HAS to do a leg in each triathlon. You can mix it up, but all three members of the team must do a segment in every triathlon. NOTE: These rules are subject to change without regards to the democratic process. The details of the tag zone, the tagging process and other race specifics will be explained in the mandatory pre-race meeting on Friday September 5th at 7pm at Pattison State Park (one person from each team must be present). The person/team that does the most triathlons in the 10-hour period wins. You can do one triathlon, stop throw some meat and potatoes on the grill, hang out w/ friends or, you can do each triathlon back-to-back. The swim course closes at the 10-hour mark. If you start the swim at 9:59 you will do one more full triathlon. Your order of finish, plus the number of triathlons completed, will determine your overall finish. We’ll have great food, shirts for athletes, commemorative pint glasses, swag and awards.  You won't want to miss this year's BURRITO UNION 10-HOUR TRI!    Hotels of choice: AmericInn of Duluth South Proctor MN 218-624-1026 800-396-5007 Register Today! 10 Hour Tri - Limited to 300 athletes!    Solo Registration through April 15 is $100.00 Registration through September 6 is $120.00 Registration through September 9 is $130.00 2 Person Relay* Registration through April 15 is $150.00 Registration through September 6 is $170.00 Registration through September 9 is $190.00 3 Person Relay* Registration through April 15 is $180.00 Registration through September 6 is $210.00 Registration through September 9 is $240.00 5 Hour Tri - Limited to 200 athletes!    Solo Registration through April 15 is $80.00 Registration through September 6 is $100.00 Registration through September 9 is $110.00 2 Person Relay Registration through April 15 is $120.00 Registration through September 6 is $140.00 Registration through September 9 is $160.00 3 Person Relay Registration through April 15 is $150.00 Registration through September 6 is $180.00 Registration through September 9 is $210.00 * You can also signup for the "Demonstration" division of the 2 or 3 person 10 Hour Relay (same price as the regular 2 or 3 person 10 Hour Relay).
