A Message from the Race Director
We would like to welcome you to the Eighth Annual Mighty Moraine Man Multi-Sport Race.
It’s been a crazy year for all of us and trying to organize a race during these trying times is
not easy.
This year, we will host four different days of racing.
• August 9 we will hold a Youth 19 and under event for our younger athletes to
shine.
• September 11 will be our Super Sprint and Youth Races
• September 12 and 13 will each be sprint triathlons
We are working closely with USA Triathlon to bring the safest event to all of you. You will
notice a lot of changes and you can review our COVID safety measurements in this
document.
The local business community of Butler County welcomes the Mighty Moraine Man
athletes with open arms. We especially thank Moraine State Park and Butler County
Tourism & Convention Bureau for their support of this event.
We thank you for supporting our race this year. My vision was to start a quality race in
western Pennsylvania. We will do that again this year.
With that being said, safety is paramount. There is not a race out there that is worth
someone’s life. Therefore, we continue to make changes to the courses to provide the safest
routes possible. In addition, we ask all athletes
• To be aware of traffic on the roads
• To keep your head up and look where you are going
• To take your time on all the turns and at every intersection
These simple things can save lives, including your own. Please be smart and responsible at
all times. We want you to have a memorable event of you crossing the finish line. It is critical
that you listen to all volunteers throughout the race.
We also ask that you practice social distancing at the race and you wear a mask when you
are not racing.
We wish you a fun and a successful race that tests your limits and creates memories that last a
lifetime.

Safety and Rules
Mighty Moraine Man is a USAT Sanctioned Event. All USAT Rules will abide. Please take the
time to read and understand the rules below and the 2020 USA Triathlon Competitive Rules.
Swim
Swimmers will start in waves. Athletes must start in the wave they are assigned to unless
approved by the race director. Novice swimmers will have the chance to start in the Novice
Wave for each race. This wave will be the last wave in each race.
Swimmers may ask for help along the swim. A swimmer can hold onto a kayak, boat or
paddleboard along the way, but in no way can they receive forward motion along the course by
anyone but themselves. Special provisions are made for wheelchair athletes. Course officials
and medical personnel reserve the right to remove contestants from the course if
determined medically necessary.
• Water temperature will be taken the day before and the day of the event to determine if
it will be wetsuit legal.
o Wetsuits are allowed for all athletes if the water temperature is 78º F or colder
o Athletes choosing to wear a wetsuit in water that is between 78 º and 84º F
will not be eligible for awards.
o NOTE: Any contestant that chooses to wear a wetsuit when the water
temperature is between 78 and 84 degrees will be required to swim in the last
wave, which will be designated for athletes that wear wetsuits
• Flotation devices of any kind are not permitted in the regular swim waves. We will allow
the new small flotation devices in the Novice/beginner swim waves.
• All swimmers must wear the swim cap given to them in their race packet. If you have a
latex allergy, please alert race officials prior to the race.
• No fins, gloves, paddles, or flotation devices of any kind are allowed.
• Aqua socks are permitted (neoprene booties)
• Swim goggles, face masks and snorkels may be worn
• No individual paddlers or escort allowed. The course will be adequately patrolled by
boats, kayaks and paddleboards.

Transition
• Public nudity is prohibited and will result in DISQUALIFICATION
• Bikes must be placed back in the same place in transition
• Limit items in your transition area and keep your area neat and do not invade the space
of those beside you
• Do not use balloons or other items that could hinder the transition area of a competitor
Bike
The bike course is not closed to traffic. Volunteer support will be throughout the bike course.
However, it’s imperative that you follow all bike laws and watch for moving vehicles.
Position violations:
• Always ride on the right side of your lane to avoid an ILLEGAL POSITION or BLOCKING
penalty
• Keep four bike lengths (seven meters) between your bikes’ front wheel and the rear
wheel of the cyclist in front of you to avoid a DRAFTING penalty
• Always pass on the left of the cyclist in front of you; never on the right to avoid an
ILLEGAL PASS
• Complete your pass within 20 seconds to avoid a DRAFTING penalty
• If passed, drop back four bike lengths before attempting to re-pass to avoid an
OVERTAKEN or DRAFTING penalty
Triathlon is an individual event, and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules and
avoid penalties.
Other common rules:
• HELMETS are required on the bike course
• HELMET CHINSTRAP: Your chinstrap must be securely fastened whenever you are on
your bike on race day. Chin straps will be checked as athletes exit T1 and no athlete will
be permitted to ride with a faulty or unbuckled chin strap. This is for your safety!
• RACE NUMBER: You must wear your bib number during the run portion. The bike
number must be properly attached to your bike and must be visible. Your helmet
number must be attached as well and visible.

• LITTERING: Do not throw ANYTHING outside of the official aid stations. We want to keep
the park beautiful and respect the park rules.
• UNAUTHORIZED EQUIPMENT:
o No Cell Phones
o MP3 players
o Or other such audio devices.
(Yes, that means NO Oakley Thumps™ or Apple iPods®)
• OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE: Non-racers may NOT ride or run alongside you or assist you in
any way. No one may be in the transition area unless they are an athlete or official race
volunteer.
• Please treat fellow athletes, volunteers, and spectators with courtesy, respect and
consideration. Not doing so is considered UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT and may
result in your race DISQUALIFICATION.
Safety:
• You must wear a helmet and have it fastened
• You must ride with your head up and be alert at all times
• Please follow all race course signs and slow down in areas of concern
• Please communicate with other riders on the road and pass only on their left
• Do not cross the yellow line on the road; this is cause for DISQUALIFICATION
• Please stay to the right as much as possible when riding
• Please be smart and use your best judgement while racing

21Schedule and Course Maps
Since we are accepting registrations through race week, there may be small changes to the
waves. Final wave assignments will be posted race week. This will ensure everyone’s safety
out on the course and provide the best possible start times for all who are racing.
Swim Information and Course Map
All swim courses will be clockwise loops in Lake Arthur. It is well-marked by bright buoys that
represent your swim distance. The swim course ending, leading up to the Transition area is
marked by buoys and cones. You must keep all buoys on your right. The swim will be an “in
water” start. There will be kayak support and life guards to assist during the swim.
If, during the swim, you are unable to continue, you may swim to shore or remove your swim
cap and wave it in the air to be picked up by a kayak. Remember, wet suits do aid in floating.
Stay calm and float on your back until a kayak arrives. We also plan to have a Pontoon boat and
scuba divers. Be sure to notify a race official at the Swim Finish Area and surrender your timing
chip, if you drop out of the swim, you cannot continue with the bike or run segments due to
medical concerns and USAT rules.
Water Quality
The Mighty Moraine Man staff takes water quality seriously. Water testing is conducted weekly
at Moraine State Park and if the water tests show any risk to athletes, the swim will be canceled
according to USAT rules. This is strictly to provide safety for the athletes.

COCOA ELITE IS INTRODUCING HIGH-QUALITY
COCOA FLAVANOL PRODUCTS TO THE MARKET
Fitness and a healthy lifestyle are a big part of our lives but cycling tops the list. We
experimented with many different endurance, strength and recovery products but we
were never fully satisfied. We simply couldn’t find a great tasting, high quality product.
We found most products on the market had additives, preservatives and just didn’t taste
great. They also had a gritty texture and significant aftertaste.
Our quest to find a great tasting, healthy alternative led us to create Cocoa Elite. We
thought about what tastes great, and quickly determined we would start with something
that we love, chocolate. Who doesn’t love chocolate? Our search for a chocolate based
product helped us to gain a deeper knowledge of cocoa. On our journey we learned that
not all chocolate is produced the same way. Our research into the cocoa plant led us to
become obsessed with the cocoa flavanol component of the cocoa bean. Cocoa flavanols
are what make chocolate so unique and healthy. Not only is it tasty but cocoa is really
good for you.
