WHEN TO ARRIVE
Bring your child to the event NO LESS than one (1) hour before their wave start time. One hour should give them time to pick up their packet, t-shirt and goodie bag, get body marked, set up their transition area, and get ready for their swim wave.
If you have multiple children in the event, arrive 1 hour before the wave start time of your oldest child.
Please allocate extra time if you have not attended a pre-race bike and helmet check. If you are late and miss your assigned wave, we cannot guarantee your child will be able to participate.
STEP #0: BIKE AND HELMET CHECK
If you have not had a Pre-Race Bike and Helmet Check, you must be checked at the Bike and Helmet Check tent located in Lot C and obtain the proper stickers. This line could be an hour long! Please go to a pre-race bike check location if possible.
STEP #1: PACKET PICK-UP
Take your bike and helmet with the approved stickers to the tables marked “Registration” where you will receive your child’s race packet which includes a bib and numbers for the bike. To speed up the process, please have your registration QR code ready. You can find this code on your confirmation email. If you can’t find your confirmation email, you can resend it by looking up your registration on RunSignUp.com. Do this before you arrive, if at all possible.
Depending on the age of your athlete, there may be a wrist band allowing an adult access to the transition area to help with set-up and tear down. The wristband is for the PARENT.
WRISTBAND SYSTEM
STEP #2: GIVEAWAYS
Next, move to the t-shirt station. You will receive the t-shirt size you specified at registration. If you need a different size, come back after noon and see if that size is available.
STEP #3: BODY MARKING
There are 2 areas your child will be marked: arms and hands. Your child’s bib number will be marked on the left upper arm; and wave # will be at the right upper arm. W# for the triathlon, D# for the duathlon.
To lessen confusion and help volunteers, your child’s hand will be marked with the number of required laps for both Bike and Run
LEFT HAND = BIKE LAPS | RIGHT HAND = RUN LAPS
Marked as follows:
ULTIMATELY SWIM, BIKE AND RUN LAP COUNTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ATHLETE
STEP #4: TRANSITION
For racers aged 10 and under, ONE ADULT wearing the appropriate wristband will be allowed to accompany the athlete PRIOR to the race for a LIMITED TIME ONLY. As soon as the transition area is set up, everyone – adult and racer – must leave. A wristband for Transition Area entry will be in the Race Packet. NO WRISTBAND = NO ADMISSION. This is for the safety of your child and other participants in the race.
ONLY for the 6 & UNDER age-group: ONE ADULT will be allowed to be with your child for the entire race, including going into the Transition Area during the race to assist your child. A wristband will be issued at packet pick-up to the designated parent. NO WRISTBAND = NO ADMISSION. No other age-group parent or family member will be allowed in the transition area.
Again, this is for the safety of all participants. There needs to be space for all of the participants to move around safely in transition especially when athletes are coming and going during their race.
