What you get, What to bring

What to bring to a triathlon:

  • Your bike (a pump, flat kit, and eye protection are recommended)
  • A FULL bike bottle with water or sports drink for when you are on the bike
  • Pre-race hydration & nutrition (water, sports drink, bars, etc.)
  • Swim goggles (a spare set in case they break in the car is a good idea too)
  • A transition towel to wipe off your feet after the swim
  • A bike helmet
  • Bike shoes if you have clip in pedals
  • Running shoes
  • Sunscreen
  • Race belt for running number (free to those that go to early packet pickup before race day)
  • Post race clothing

What you get at packet pickup (day before the race, some last minute pickup available race morning):

  • Silicone swim cap
  • Number kit (contains bike, run, and helmet numbers)
  • Race Number Tattoo (please apply before sunscreen)
  • T-shirt
  • Tote bag
  • Race program (select races)

What you get BEFORE the race:

  • Timing Chip (return at the finish line).  This is VITAL so you get your race time and splits.  This is a separate line from packet pickup, so if you pick up the day before you do not need to wait in the packet pickup line to get your timing chip.  Please also scan your chip to be sure your information is correct.

What you get during the race (and post race):

  • Water is provided on the run course approximately every mile (sports drink usually is too).  You need to bring your own water/sports drink for the bike and pre-race.
  • Finisher medal at the finish line – congratulations!
  • Water, sports drink, and light snacks at the finish line.
  • Award medal if you place top 3 in your category.
