what to do with all the “stuff” in your packet Timing Chip
Race Bib This will be worn during the bicycling and running portions of the race. Athletes need to wear this on the front of their shirt during these legs of the race. They can either use safety pins (provided) or wear a race belt.
Bike Tag This adhesive sticker will be placed under the bike seat (facing out) around the cylinder bar of the bike seat.
Athletes will be required to wear a timing band around their left ankle for the entire race. Be sure to wear this as no chip = no time. Athletes in the Tots Tri will NOT have a timing chip.
Swim Cap Athletes will be required to wear a pre-designated swim cap during the swim portion of the race. The swim cap color will denote the race category. See the Heat Sheet for more details.
Helmet Sticker This adhesive sticker will be placed on the front center of the bike helmet.
