TRIATHLON FAQS

Can I register on race day?

NO.  The last time to register is at the pasta party Saturday night, if there are spots left.

Who times the race?

A company called Event-Tech (www.event-tech.com).   They do a fabulous job and time some very prominent races held in this country and we are very glad they do our race.   This ensures that quality of the race is outstanding despite not being a professional race where money is given out.   Also, you will get splits for your 3 individual legs of the race as well as your T1 and T2 times  (the times in the transition area).

My training is going well/not so well.  Is it possible to change races?

Yes.  This must be done by 6pm at the latest on Saturday at the packet pickup.  This CANNOT be done on race morning.
I am entered in the race but because of an injury cannot compete.  Can I defer my participation to next year or get a refund?

Sorry, but no.
I registered today for the race.  When will I receive notification of acceptance?

If you registered online this is your notification.  (It would be best to print this to be safe in case there are any computer glitches.)  If you applied in person or by mail then we will send you a postcard for confirmation.  Bringing this to packet pickup would be best but not mandatory.

Where is the Pasta Party / Packet Pickup on Saturday?

We will have details on this in the near future.
How do I become a volunteer?

We will have a sign up on the website in the near future.  You can also contact anyone involved in the race organization.  All volunteers get a great t-shirt.  We like to have volunteers pair up also for safety reasons as well as social reasons, so sign up your friend.
Is there  parking at the race site?

Yes.  But please arrive before 7am to take advantage of that.
Describe the Transition Area?

This will be a fenced in area restricted to the racers during the race.  There will be bike racks set up the night before so you can leave your bikes there between 7 and 9pm if you want.  You cannot ride your bike in this area.  You walk/jog it to the entrance and make sure you walk over the computer chip timing mat before you get on the bike.  Similarly, you must dismount the bike and walk over the mat before entering the transition area on return.

There will be a fenced in area leading to the transition area.   This is the official dismount area.   Anyone riding there bike in this area will be stopped for the safety of others.  It will be only a short 20-30 yards to get to the actual transition area so you will not be delayed long.
