Location: XTC Event Expo
REMINDER - Registration fee goes up $10 if you register on race day
Due to schedule on race day we encourage racers to register on Saturday at the latest. There will be limited volunteers available to help out in this area as they are needed on course. If you have course/race questions, we
strongly recommend you come out on Saturday and race personel would be happy to assist. Sunday is not
the day to find out everything about the course and off-road triathlon for the first time! Sunday last minute
registrants make it difficult for food planning, race preparation and contribute to shortages.
NEW
RULES WITH TRAITHLON BC FOR ATHLETE CHECK IN (on race
day)!
At
athlete check in you will be required to show picture
identification (driver’s license or passport) when
you check in. NO EXCEPTIONS! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PICTURE
ID YOU WILL NOT RACE. Why, you ask? Triathlon BC,
the Race Organizers and the Event are liable if something
goes wrong and people race under someone else’s
name. In order to prevent this, Triathlon BC now requires
ID to be shown so that we know who is racing. You will
be required to show your picture ID and sign a waiver
before you receive your timing chip and get body marked.
Please allow time for this.
Also,
if you are not a member of TRIBC or the Alberta Triathlon
Association (ATA) you will be required to pay the day-of-race
insurance fee of $10. We will have a list of current
TRIBC members as supplied by TRIBC race week. If you
are not a member of TRIBC or ATAT and did not send in
the day-of-race fee with your registration then you
will be required to pay the day-of-race fee as per the
direction we have received from TRIBC. Triathlon membership
numbers from provinces and states other than BC or Alberta
will not be accepted. If you are a member of TRIBC or
ATA do not forget to bring your membership card with
you to package pickup or athlete check in. No card …
you pay the fee. No money to pay the fee … you
will not race. There will be no refunds or rollovers
if you are not able to race because you forgot your
picture ID or you do not have race day insurance coverage.
Okay, now that we have all of that out of the way, we
look forward to seeing you August!
