From the organizers
The Collegiate Cup Race is open to NCAA Collegiate Women from across the country. This is a Draft-Legal Sprint Collegiate Club Race. 750-meter swim, 12 mile bike, 3.2-mile run. No lap out rule. This event will be completed in 2 waves if the # of participants reaches a certain level. The split of the waves will be decided after receiving entries, but the current intent is to offer a NCAA D1, D2, & 85% or higher ranking wave and then a NCAA D3 and 85% or lower wave. The WAVES will be decided with the coaches, organizer, and officials and communicated closer to the event.
