The following link is to basic pages from the race booklet you will receive at packet pick up: race timeline, maps, rules, parking info, etc... Please take the time to review this now, especially if you are picking up your packet on race morning.

Important Note! If you pick up your packet on Friday, bring a copy of your race instructions to show the front gate to waive the park entrance fee.

THE BASICS:

1. You must present a photo i.d. and your USAT membership card (if you are a member) to receive your race packet. If you have lost your USAT card, please go to www.usatriathlon.org to print a temporary card.

If you do not have your USAT card, you will be required to pay the $10 one day fee. If you do not have a photo id, you will not be able to race.

If you are not a USAT member, you likely paid your $10 fee with your registration fee, if not, you will be asked to pay at packet pick up.

2. Parking: NO PARKING on Terrace Drive. This is your race course and cars will seriously impede the race flow. There is plenty of parking at the Canoe Area, Beach Area, and Picnic Areas. Note that the race staging has moved to the Park Admin Lot before the beach area lot where the transition was in 2006.

3. Biking before and after the event: the local police ask that you please obey traffic laws and wear a helmet when riding your bike before and after the event.

4. Toilets/Facilities: There are toilets and showers at the beach area restroom facilities and toilets at the registration area.

5. All racers must wear an AMB timing chip to be scored. You will pick up your timing chip on race morning at the white tent behind the finish line and return it at the same location when you complete the race. If you cannot complete the race, please turn your chip in at this location. YOU MUST HAVE YOUR PAPER BIB NUMBER TO SHOW TO PICK UP YOUR TIMING CHIP AND GET BODY MARKED ON RACE MORNING.

6. Wrist Bands: We will be placing a wrist band on each racer when you pick up your race packet. This wrist band is your "full access" pass to all areas of race weekend that are limited to racers, race staff, and race officials. Please keep this band on for identification purposes. It is intended to be for your safety and to control the race atmosphere. Thanks so much!

Remember, you can always visit the race web page for complete race details: timeline, rules, maps, etc...
