When and where do I pick up my race packet? Packet pickup dates and location are listed under the tab labeled Packet Pickup. Please scroll down to visit the tab.
Can my friend pick up my packet? Please visit the tab labeled Packet Pickup to learn all packet pickup details and procedures.
Do I need to bring my own bike? Yes. You need to bring all your gear. No gear or accessories will be provided by the event.
Do I need a fancy triathlon bike? Can I use my old mountain or road bike? Depends on why you are getting into triathlon. If you are getting into the sport to be competitive and race, yes you should invest in a tri bike, or a higher end road bike for shorter distance races. If you are entering the sport to just have fun, then you can complete a triathlon just fine on a mountain bike, cross bike, fat tire bike, etc. A tri bike can make you go faster. Check out different types of bikes here. All bikes need to comply with USA Triathlon Rules. And yes, helmets are required.
What gear do I need for a triathlon? Check out our RACE DAY CHECKLIST for the basic needs.
What should I wear during a triathlon? Wear what is comfortable and form-fitting. Wear what you have been wearing while you train and you’re used to it. Something that is comfy for biking and running and that won't create a parachute while riding (like many running shorts or baggy t-shirts). A tri kit fits snugly. Wearing a tri kit you don't have to spend time in transition getting tangled up in biking or running tops. If you plan to do more triathlons, it is worth to investment in a quality trisuit. They provide a little bit of padding in the seat and a top and bottom that work great on the swim through to the run with no garment changes needed. Avoid cotton at all costs either way especially for socks and undergarments. Find everything you need 24/7 here.
***Attending one of our complimentary pre-race clinic will be beneficial to first-time participants and information seekers. Please visit the tab labeled Free Pre Race Clinics as it gets closer to the race date.
