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, in the east parking lot of the Loews Hotel, will be accessible to only athletes with a bib/bike # and/or body marking. No outside assistance may enter the transition area. The transition area will CLOSE 15 minutes prior to the start of the 1^st Swim Wave. No one will be allowed in transition after that time. You will be given ample time and a countdown to closing via the race announcer and P/A System.

**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. DO NOT FORGET YOUR TIMING CHIP ON RACE DAY!! Any athlete that loses or forgets their timing chip will be responsible for a $20.00 fee payable to the timing company. All athletes are responsible for the return of their timing chip after they cross the finish line.

** 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.

 

Packet Pick-up:

Packet Pick-up will be at the Loews Lake Las Vegas hotel from 4pm to 7pm on the day before the race. There will be a provisional  Race Day Packet pick-up, you will not be able to get a shirt or goody bag on race day. Only athletes with a photo ID will be allowed to pick up their packet. NO Exceptions!

All athletes will receive a swim cap (required to be worn during the swim), a bike number and a run bib number at packet pick-up. You will be assigned a swim wave time as well as pick up your race t-shirt* and a  goody bag filled with swag from the race sponsors.

Although we anticipate that the majority of questions are answered right here on the website, nothing can take the place of previewing the course and coming to the packet pick-up Race briefings. Any new additions and/or course changes will be discussed and a physical walkthrough of the start, transition and finish line will be offered by the race directors. Check out the Race Schedule for exact times.

* Anyone that signs up inside 21 days from race day may not receive a race t-shirt! There are no exceptions if we run out of shirts. Sign up early and secure your memory!
