Important race reminders

1.  Changes in bike course from 2006

If you have raced this event in the past, please note the bike course will not go onto Earhart Road this year due to rough road surface, but instead you will ride further on John Hagar Drive.  Please see you race booklet for more information.

2.  No Dogs Are Allowed on Nashville Shores Property - please tell family and friends.

3.  No Outside Food and Drink Is Allowed on Nashville Shores Property - please tell family and friends - food and drink will be available for purchase.

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.

All youth 17&Under must be USAT members or can purchase a full year membership for $5 at the race site.  A parent or guardian must be present or have a letter with a driver's license copy from a parent or guardian.  No photo i.d. is required for 17&Under.

If you entered online as a USAT member but did not provide a USAT member number, you will go to a separate table at packet pick up - please be prepared to bring proof of membership or plan to pay the $10 fee.

2. Parking: There is plenty of parking in the main Nashville Shores parking lot - no parking fees will be charged to racers or spectators.  The water park IS NOT open this weekend.  Our main staging area and all race activities take place just beyond the main parking area - on the other side of the wooden fence.  There will be signs.

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 will be portable toilets and Nashville Shores restrooms adjacent to the transition area and Shadypoint Picnic 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 race finish line and return it at the race finish line. If you cannot complete the race, please turn your chip in at the finish line.

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!

7. Packet Pick Up:  Packet Pick Up Opens at 1:30 pm on Saturday and closes at 5:00 pm.  Race day packet pick up opens at 6:00 am and closes at 6:45 am.  Race starts at 7:30 am.
