      STEPS TO THE PACKET PICK-UP PROCESS  
     

1. Determine Your Race Number
Your race number will be posted at the entrance to the Expo.

2. USAT Single Event Permit
To participate in the Whirlpool Steelhead 70.3 Triathlon, you are required to be 18 years or older and a member of USAT, or have purchased a USAT Single Event permit for $10 and have signed the USAT waiver form when you registered online.

3. Pick Up Your Race #'s & ChampionChip
Check the number signs above the registration tables. You are required to produce your photo ID and USAT membership card if you are a member or a receipt for a USAT single event permit. Relay Team Captains should collect the team race packet, wristbands and technical shirts and submit signed USAT waivers for each team member. If you arrive at transition without your wristband, race # and ChampionChip, you will not be allowed to race. You will also need to be wearing your wristband to collect food and drink at the Post Race Party and to retrieve your bike from transition.

4. Collect Your Shirt & Race Bag
Show your race number to the volunteers to collect your technical shirt and race bag.

 

5. Collect Your Swim Cap
Make sure you get the correct color swim cap.

6. Proceed to Body Marking
We recommend that you get body marked at the Expo on Friday. Please dress appropriately (shorts & T-shirt). Body marking is also available on Saturday near the entrance to transition, but there will be long lines.

7. Attend a Course Talk

Course Talks are optional for participants of the Whirlpool Steelhead 70.3 Triathlon, but highly recommended if you are new to triathlon or have never raced the Whirlpool Steelhead 70.3 Triathlon. Course Talks will take place on the hour starting at 2:30pm with the last talk at 7:30pm.

8. Rack Your Bike
ALL bikes must be racked on Friday between 2pm and 9pm (unless you picked up your packet at Running Away). Take your bike to the transition area and rack it on the numbered bike rack. Your spot on a rack will be marked with your name and race number. Be sure to rack your bike by the seat and NOT by the handle bars.
