Race Site

Mandatory Photo ID: All participants will be required to show photo ID at packet pick-up (including relay team members). You will not be given your race packet without photo ID! All participants must pick up their own race packet – individuals and relays. Please remember: you will not be able to pick up race packets for you friend/spouse/partner/etc. 

Race Packet: Your race packet will contain two race numbers and a swim cap. 

As part of Set Up’s GO GREEN initiative, we’ve reduced the amount of printed materials in your packet. Course maps and event details are available online. If you wish to have this info with you, please print it out before the race. 

You will be issued two numbers at packet pick-up: The square number is your run number and must be displayed on the front of your body during the run segment of the race only. Safety pins will be available at packet pick-up if you don’t have a race number belt. The rectangular number (with an adhesive backing and containing your number twice) is used during the bike segment of the race. Place this number over the top tube of your bike – toward the front if possible. 

NOTE:  Sandling Beach State Recreation Area closes for the year on Oct. 1st.
The NC State Park folks have allowed us to stage the race at Sandling Beach even though the park is closed.
It is for this reason that packet pick-up is only offered off-site on Friday.

Important things to remember :

•   A photo ID is required for packet pick-up.
•   Cash, Check or Credit Card are accepted.
•   All participants must pick up their own race packet.

PARTICIPANT MEETING: A participant orientation meeting will be held at 7:30 AM on race morning at the Start/Finish line.
