STEPS FOR PACKET PICKUP:

4. Show your ID to receive race packet, inside: Souvenir Bag, Athlete Number Sheet, Swim Cap (Triathletes only), Racing Tattoo (Triathletes only), Souvenir T-shirt, Sponsor removable tattoos to wear during the event and other goodies.
FINAL STEP: Stay and enjoy Expo and Workshops.
RACE BRIEFING ON-LINE: You can read the briefing online instead of attending one of the pre-race briefings. The briefing is in a pdf slide format and easy to view. This will make your packet pickup faster, enjoyable, and smoother. At the end of the briefing there will be an affidavit which you will need to print, sign, and bringing to packet pickup. ALL athletes participating must either attend the on-site briefing or view the online briefing and bring the affidavit form in order to pick up their packets.
View the online briefing HERE.
TIMING CHIPS: After you checked in your bike on race day please proceed to the timing-chip handout. Immediately strap the timing chip around your ankle and exit through the chip check. That way we know you are participating and we can keep track of you. Same procedure applies to the 10K runners.
RACE TATTOOS: Tri-Athletes will receive 2 tattoos with your number for your arms. Please apply it to the LEFT and RIGHT bicep area of your arm BEFORE race day (read the instructions on the back of the tattoos). This reduces the time for pre-race check in and allows us to start on-time (5:45am). Once you have it on do not place any oil or lotion on that area. Also, we recommend you wait to shower until after the race. This will keep your tattoo looking fresh. There will be body marking at the morning check-in for any athlete needing a touch up.
COLOR CODED COURSE: It is your responsibility to know the course BUT this is one extra insurance you will go the correct way. There are 3 colors:
ORANGE – Olympic TRI, Olympic Relays, 10K Run – – –
GREEN – Sprint TRI, Sprint Relays, Junior TRI (16-19), – – –
BLUE – Youth TRI (11-15), Kids TRI (7-10) – – –
Triathletes will receive a color swim cap for the event you signed up for. Simply follow the color coded signs and cones at critical intersections that will be placed along the course. We will also provide you with course marshals to cheer you on.
