General Info

 

Race materials and logistics:
Race materials include a race number, color-coded wristband (by age group), t-shirt, and goodies for the kids.
-  Race numbers must be pinned to the FRONT of your child's shirt, or otherwise
   displayed on the front of the body for the bike and run portions of the race (they 
   cannot, however, be worn into the pool...).
-  The wristband can be worn on either wrist.  It designates the athlete's age group
   so that they can be directed appropriately on the race course.
-  We will do "body marking" on the athletes.  Their race numbers will be drawn on
   their arms and legs in black marker (they'll love it!).  This helps us to identify
   children during the swim, and in the event that their paper number gets lost.
-  Bike numbers will be attached to the athlete's bike upon passing bike and
   helmet inspection

A sticker will be placed on inspected bikes and helmets.  You will not be permitted to drop off your bike in the transition area without these stickers.

Volunteers will be stationed at the transition areas to ensure the safety of the bikes.  You will not be permitted to take your bike out of the area unless your race number matches the number on the bike.

Many volunteers will be marshalling the course to ensure the safety of the children...and to point them in the right direction!  If you would like to help us out by volunteering, please send an e-mail to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

We suggest that you try to pick up your race materials and have your bike inspected on Saturday afternoon.  You may leave your bike at Simmons Elementary overnight; it will be locked in the gymnasium.

If you are picking up your race materials and having your bike inspected on Sunday morning, please allow yourself plenty of time.  Remember that we expect 275 athletes at this event.
