📄 Before the big day, please take a few minutes to review the Official Race Info Packet (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wWBd0o3r_GLY8biKdPKHLiTyD_53v-qj/view?usp=sharing) It’s your go-to guide for everything you need to know. Please review the bike and run course maps with your triathlete and make sure they know the number of laps they must complete on the bike and run. 🏁 Packet Pickup Details:

Parking is strictly limited. To keep our race course safe:

• Do NOT park on the bike course or in the YMCA lot (where the transition area is).
• There’s a nearby lot adjacent to the YMCA — arrive before 6:45 AM and plan to stay until the event ends if you park there. Otherwise, there is parking along Armour Road

⏰ Race Day Timeline:

• Transition Area Closes: 6:55 AM sharp
• Race Starts: 7:00 AM with our oldest triathletes leading the charge
• Participants (except Tots) should report to the transition area first, listen for their name to be called, then head inside the Y to get their timing chip and line up to swim!
