A picture of your photo ID on your family member or friend’s phone is acceptable for race packet pickup.

SPONSORS
USAT
Every participant must show photo ID and proof either of USAT annual membership, or purchase of USAT one day pass. If one of these is not provided at packet pickup, the participant will be required to purchase a one day pass or an annual membership in order to pick up his or her packet, regardless of whether or not he or she already has a membership ($15 for adult one day, $50 for annual membership, and $10 for youth annual membership). Please click here for the Most Commonly Violated USAT rules.
Relays
COMPETE AS A RELAY TEAM! Do you belong to a triathlon club? Or have a group of friends or family that like to do triathlons? Encourage your club or friends & family to participate as a relay team! To create a relay team the first team member to register, after choosing the relay option (Triathlon or Run/Bike/Run), will select “Create New Team”, during the registration process, and name the team. Then share the Team Name with your group. This Team Member will pay the Relay Entry Fee. Members of your group can then choose the relay option, then select “Join Existing Team”, type in the team name, and register under that Team Name. When every Team Member registers they will enter their USAT Membership Number or purchase a One Day License. Team members can be male & female with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. You all will decide who participates in which portion of the race (Swim, Bike, Run).
All Relay Team Members must check in at packet pickup individually and pick up their race number (though team members do not all have to come at the same time). All team members must have their own USAT membership (whether annual or one day).
All 2 or 3 members of a relay team will share one race number and one timing chip. Timing chip is to be handed off to the next member at the bike racked in the transition area. As the swimmer arrives at the bike, he or she will give the chip to the cyclist. As the cyclist completes the bike course and arrives at the bike, he or she will hand off the timing chip to the runner. Bicycle must be placed on the bike rack while chip exchanges take place.
Refund Policy
No Refunds or Transfers allowed.

Volunteers
Without volunteers, we simply can't have races. Without volunteers, there is no one to tell athletes where to turn, hand out water, cheer eberyone on - and yes - how much fun is body marking?! Volunteers get everyone pumped up and motivated. As a volunteer, you'll feel like you made a valuable contribution to the success of the race. And who knows? You could turn into a participant at the next race! Simply put, volunteers are the heart of triathlon races.
