• Athletes may begin checking in Sunday morning at 6:00am. Please plan to arrive no later than 6:30 so that you are checked-in by 7am. Mandatory pre-race meeting for all athletes and one parent/guardian will begin at 7:10am. Heat #1 will begin promptly at 7:30am.  

• There will be limited parking available in the Beaumont YMCA parking lot. If you do park in the parking lot you are not permitted to leave until the last biker is off the course and you will only be allowed to exit from the main entrance and turn left. We recommend parking at CLS behind J. Render’s if able.   

• Check-in will be held in the front lawn of the YMCA. The line will form down the sidewalk in front of the playground and stay on the sidewalk wrapping back to the Performance Training Center (previously Beaumont Clubhouse). Please do not line up in the parking lot as traffic will be moving through.   

• You will begin by checking-in and ensuring you have the proper bib # and athletes will have their number written on the back of their right calf and right arm with black sharpie. Please have your athlete remove any layers while in the check-in line.   

• Athletes will then proceed to their designated table to retrieve ankle timing chip that must stay on the entire race. For smaller athletes there are extra-small bands if needed.   

• It is not necessary to bring your bike through the check-in line this year, it can go straight to transition, just make sure to see a transition volunteer to ensure bike plate is on properly, and you go to the appropriate transition zone (designated by age groups).  

• When you enter the transition area from the front of the Y age groups will be located in zones.   

• Green Zone is the front parking spaces for 6-8yo’s – green cap/shirt  

• Red Zone is in the middle parking spaces for 9-10yo’s – red cap/shirt  

• Blue Zone is in the back parking spaces (bike racks available) for 11-14yo’s – blue cap/shirt  

• All bikes and towels will be set up in a parking space with back tire on line, front of bike facing the YMCA building.  

• 4 bikes/towels to each parking space – front of parking space designated for athletes to travel with their bikes during race.   

• Transition essentials:   

• Bike  

• Towel  

• Empty corner on towel to stand on and wipe feet off  

• Hand towel to dry hands/face/top of feet  

• Tennis shoes (already tied, foot can slide in easily, tight enough to run in)   

• Socks rolled down inside of tennis shoes for easy pull on, helmet  

• Race t-shirt and shorts  

• Helmet  

• Please don’t leave anything in the transition area that is not necessary to be there.  

• Please refrain from letting your children ride their bikes around before the race. It will get crowded quickly and traffic will be moving throughout the parking lot all morning.   

• Reminder that no parents will be allowed in the transition area once race begins. Volunteers will be available to assist athletes and can accommodate those who need to gather transition items before race is over – please ask volunteers before entering so it is done at a safe time for all athletes. 

• During the race athletes will walk/run their bike in and out of the transition area/parking lot and will only ride in the street.   

• Athletes may not exit transition area without their helmet on and buckled.  

• After athlete is checked in and transition area is complete please head over towards the Pavilion area near the outdoor pool. Restrooms are available at the Pavilion. 

• Pre-race meeting will begin at 7:10am. 

• Heats 1 & 2 and related spectators will enter pool gate area first by 7:20am. Heats 3-6 and spectators will stay at the pavilion area. After Heat 2 is complete, Heats 3 & 4 will enter pool area. After Heat 4 is complete, 5 & 6 will enter. 

• Spectators for each heat will remain in the grassy area on the side of the pool (specified on map) and OFF the pool deck.  

• Parents, please do not obstruct other athletes exit from the pool and wait to exit the gate until your child’s heat is complete. We promise you’ll catch up to them before they are biking.  

• As athletes cross the finish line they will be announced, awarded a finishers medal, and offered some light refreshments by our sponsor, White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics.   

• We do award the top 3 male and female finishers for each age group.  

• Results will be posted as they are available, but trophies will not be presented until the final athlete crosses the finish line.  

• I encourage all of you to stay and watch strong finishes through the morning, and cheer on all athletes! My favorite part of the race is watching them turn the last corner where they see the finish line and give it all they’ve got. I promise you will not be disappointed!  

• We will do our very best to begin the race promptly at 7:30am.   

• The race may occur with light rainfall, with no thunderstorm present.   

• In the case of any severe weather in the area we do have multiple options to complete our race, outdoors, to be finished before 11am.
