Cancellation and Refund Policy:

Rocketman has a pretty awesome refund policy. Up to 30 days prior to the event, we allow racers to cancel their registration and receive 80% of the registration fee which can be applied to any and all Team Rocket events one year from Sept 7, 2024. Once we’re within 30 days of the race event, we’re sorry, but no refunds will be issued. We will allow athletes to convert from the full triathlon to either the aqua bike or cycle run.

The swim must be completed in no more than 1 hour from the start of the final wave.  The bike must be completed in no more than 3 hours from the start of the final wave.  And runners must be at the run turnaround within 4 hours of the final wave start.  Event officials reserve the right to pull a participant off the course if it appears as though that participant will not be able to meet the above time requirements.
