If you are unable to pick up your packet on Saturday, please contact Jodee@5430sports.com a minimum of one week prior to discuss other arrangements.
You must bring your valid USA Triathlon card and a valid photo ID with you to packet pick up!
You will receive three numbers at packet pick up. The numbered sticker must be on the front of your bike helmet. A bicycle frame number must be attached to your bike where it can be seen by officials. The bib number must be worn on the front of your body during the entire run portion of the event. Body marking will take place on race morning prior to the race start in an area located just outside the transition area. You must be body marked before the transition area closes.
USAT Membership
You must bring your valid USA Triathlon card to packet pick up. If you do not have your current card with you, you will be required to sign up and pay for a one-day license at the event. This option is also available at the time of online registration. If you have recently purchased an annual membership, you may go the USA Triathlon website and print a temporary card which will suffice for the event.
Mandatory Pre-Race Meeting
There will be three mandatory pre-race meetings the day before your race (11:00am, 1:00pm and 3:00pm) - you need to attend one. The meetings will be held during packet pick-up at the Boulder Reservoir. Valuable information regarding the event will be presented and you will have the opportunity to ask questions.
Transition Information
Transition area opens at 6:00am. Bikes will be racked at that time and any gear for the bike to run transition will be placed near your bike. There is no required bike check for the event. The transition area is closed to spectators – no exceptions. After the race, transition crews will assist you in claiming your gear. All bikes must be removed from the bike lot by 11:30am. You must claim all your gear as you exit on race day. We are not responsible for lost items.
Lost and Found
Our designated Lost and Found area is in the Information/Volunteer Check-In Tent. Please check there before leaving the event if you have any missing items. Should you find that you have returned home with some gear that is not yours or that you are missing something, please email Jodee@5430sports.com immediately. We will do our best to get your items back to you. All Lost and Found will be kept for one month following the event. After that time, they will be donated to a local charity.
Wetsuits
Wetsuits are highly recommended! The water temperature is expected to be in the mid to upper 60s in June.
Aid Stations
There will be 2 aid stations on the bike course and one on the run course. The bike aid stations will have bottles of Gatorade Endurance and water bottles. The run stations will be fully supported with Gatorade and water. Please help our volunteers keep the countryside clean and the residents of the area happy by discarding empty gel packets, water bottles, wrappers, and cups, at the aid stations while racing! Thank you!
