Team Magic welcomes you to the 2008 Mountain Lakes Triathlon.
This is your FINAL RACE CONFIRMATION.

RACE INFORMATION BOOKLET - you will receive a copy at packet pick up but we strongly suggest you print this document if you are picking up your packet on race morning. http://www.team-magic.com/mlt_race_booklet.pdf

IMPORTANT RACE REMINDERS

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.

All youth 17 & Under must be USAT members or can purchase a full year membership for $5 at the race site if you have not purchased already.

2. 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.

3. All racers must wear a timing chip to be scored. You will pick up your timing chip during packet pickup and return it at the race finish line. If you cannot complete the race, please turn your chip in at the finish line. If you do not return your chip, you will be charged a $35 replacement fee plus and additional $1 per day fee after seven days.

4. 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!

5. Directions: The Guntersville Recreation Center (1500 Sunset Drive, Guntersville, Alabama, 35976) is located at the corner of Hwy. 69 & Sunset Drive.
