Race Package pickup

Volunteers Needed
Like any other event we are always in search of some much needed enthusiastic volunteers. If you have a family member or a friend that’s coming to watch the event, then ask them to help out. They get a really nice tech shirt and a great meal and of course lots and lots of fun. They can register here.

Water Temperature
Lake Midnapore is a crystal clear man made lake.  Water temperature ranges from 18C to 21C in mid-June.  Wetsuits are recommended.

Pre-Race Procedures

Race Bib Number (you will find in your swag bag)
• In your race kits you will have a Bib Number related to your event. Please make sure you’re in the right event.
• Affix your Bib to a bib strap belt (fabric elastic or proper triathlon belt).
• Do not wear your Bib in the swim under your wet suit, it will probably tear apart when you take it off.
• Your Bib must be visible on your back when you’re on your bike, failure to do so could result in a penalty.
• When you get off the bike your Bib needs to be visible on your front during the run, failure to do so could result in a penalty.

Race Number Kit (you will find in your swag bag)
• The large sticker is to be wrapped around your bike tube so that it’s visible
• The Swim to Bike gear sticker you put on the Blue bag
• The Bike to Run gear sticker you put on the Red bag
• The White bag is your dry gear bag and you affix the Dry gear sticker
• The Helmet sticker affix to the front of your helmet
• The other stickers are spares

TEAMS
• Bibs need to be transferred from athlete to athlete in transition.  Also Timing Chips need to be transferred and affixed to the ankle of the athlete, in transition as the team advances.
• Teams would only require the white bag so you should affix the sticker to your dry bag gear.

Bike Drop-off for all athletes:
• We require you to drop your bike off at Bike Transition at 185 Midlake Blvd (Midnapore Lake), at Transition 1 (T1). Security will be monitoring the Transition throughout the night.
• Bike drop off times 5:00pm to 8:00pm Friday, June 14th
• The bike racks will be numbered in sequential order ie: 100-104, 105-110, place your bike in the space assigned to your rack, if your number is 103 then you’re in the middle of the rack.  Tri-clubs will have their own VIP section of bike racks.
• For teams: your bike racks will be at the end of transition labelled “Teams”
• You will receive a blue bag in your kit, this bag is for your bike gear and your wetsuit after your swim. Bring it with you and it can be placed with your bike. Your bike gear will be required to be in your bag.
• Out of town athletes that are not able to get to bike check in at that time will be able to so in the morning. Transition will be open at 6:00am.
