Transition Area, Body Marking and Timing Chips:

All athletes will have their body marked by race volunteers prior to entering the Transition Area. Please be sure to give the volunteers the correct age and race bib number when getting marked.

The transition area location will be confirmed in the coming months.

It is recommended that all athletes bring a towel to put under their transition gear. Transition, will be accessible to only athletes with a bib/bike # and/or body marking.

No outside assistance may enter the transition area.

**This race will be chip timed. After the race you will be able to access your timing splits for, Overall time, swim, T1, Bike, T2, and run. Your timing chip will be issued at packet pick-up. All athletes are responsible for the return of their timing chip after they cross the finish line. Anyone that has lost their timing chip before or after the race will be responsible for a $20.00 fee to the timing company.

** Each athlete is responsible for crossing each timing mat. Just being in the “general area” of the mat does not always work and could cause the athlete to have incorrect split times or no time recorded at all. Each athlete must ensure a secure fit of the strap when issued your chip.
