Friends and Family Tri:  a fun introduction to triathlon or a chance for grown ups to participate with the kids.
This special recreational wave is open to anyone who wants to race with a family member or friend, regardless of age or gender.

More details on Friends and Family wave:

• This pair can be an adult & child; child & child or adult & adult. There are many options; mother/son, father/daughter, aunt/niece, mom and dad, mom and uncle.
• Each person registers separately in the ‘Family Wave’ and includes on the registration form their “group” name.
• Family and Friend groups will be numbered together (this is why we need your group name!) and will start the swim together (time trial format) and can participate alongside each other!
• Same goodies – shirt, medal, timing, etc.
• This wave is not eligible for age group awards. This one’s for fun!
• Family & Friends wave will begin after all the individual youth athletes have finished the swim and left transition on their bikes

Race day meeting:  All participants are required to attend a pre-race meeting at 6:45a am on race day at the transition area. Event particulars will be discussed and questions will be answered by race organizers. Plan on arriving early to check in and setup your transition area prior to the pre-race meeting. Transition area will close at 6:30am

Transition area: Transition area opens at 5:30am and closes at 6:30am. Bring your bike and all your race gear into the transition area, and find the aisle where you need to put your bike. Rack your bike and lay out your gear in the spot next to your bike. Drink plenty of fluids, relax, and report to the pre-race meeting at 6:45am in at the pool area.  After the race, check your transition area to make sure that you have collected everything you brought in with you. We highly recommend that you mark all of your gear, especially shoes, bike and helmet.  You must claim all your gear as you exit on race day. One adult will be allowed in transition with athlete to assist with set up. After transition closes, only race officials, staff, racer and volunteers will be allowed in transition.
