On the day step by step guide:
- Look for the event signs — they’ll guide you to registration, cycle transition area and swim start.
- Once you have parked, collect your wristband, race number, cycle and helmet stickers from the registration marquee.
- Put on your wristband, attach your race numbers and place your cycle on the cycle rack in the cycle transition area.
- Follow the swim start signs to the swimming pool, where you listen to a short race safety brief before starting the swim.
- The starter will start each person at their individual allocated start time, which you receive 10 days before the event via email.
- Once the swim is completed, exit the pool and head into the cycle transition area, collect your cycle and proceed to the cycle start line.
- You can start when you are ready. Once the cycle leg is completed, place your cycle back on the rack in the cycle transition area.
- Head to the run start line.
- When you have finished your run, turn onto the finish alley and through the finish line to the cheers of the crowd. Then step onto the finisher stage to receive your well-earned medal.
- (Children’s Triathlon Only) Parents or guardians can help once the swim is complete, to guide children through the cycle transition area onto the cycle and onto the final run. The only time we don’t allow parents to escort children is along the run finish alley, as it can spoil official photography for other children finishing their triathlon.
