May I give or sell my slot to someone else?

No, All entries are non-transferable. If an applicant would like to make a change before the deadline, this refers to switching their entry from one distance to another within an event (if there are still slots available in each race), they may do so, keeping in mind that a processing fee will be included in that decision.

At registration you will receive several race numbers, bike ties and safety pins. There are no numbers or tags for the swim portion of the event. The bike number is secured to your bike frame using bike ties (road bike numbers must be visible from the sides, mountain bike numbers must be visible from the front). Helmet stickers should be placed accordingly: 1 sticker - front of the helmet, 2 stickers- front and back of helmet, 3 stickers- front, back and side of helmet. Bib numbers should be worn on the front of the body and worn during the run portion of the event.

Where can I park on race morning?

For packet pick up the day before you will be able to park in Marine Park but for the race you will need to park on the street and in designated areas just outside the park.  We will need the park as uncongested as possible in order to secure the saftey of the participants.
