Registration – 10:30am - 12:15pm Registration will be located in Roe St, in the carpark behind the Visitors Information Centre. All competitors will need to register in person. If you are a member of a team, only one of you needs to register, but it is your responsibility to ensure the rest of the team gets what they need. Your race pack will contain all your race requirements. A race briefing at 12:30pm will follow registration immediately. PLEASE NOTE, this briefing is not compulsory, but all event staff reserve the right to refuse questions that have been addressed in the briefing. Please do not park on The Terrace or Roe Street around transition as there will be a high volume of athletes on course in these streets. There is plenty of parking at Rowden Park (straight across the road from transition). Bike racking will take place during registration hours from 10:30am-12:15pm. The racks will be allocated per race so please find a space on the correct rack. Body numbering is compulsory and needs to be visible when exiting transition. Please allow enough time to rack your bike and setup your gear before transition closes at 12:15pm. The swim leg will be completed at the St George Pool, which is 200m from transition. After the bike leg, competitors will make their way to the pool via Roe Street and across the pedestrian crossing on Victoria Street. Two TA officials will be on course during the event. Kids Tri Kids registration will commence at 3:30pm. Please be mindful that triathlon events will still be running at this time. Enter the venue carefully and avoid parking near transition in Roe St. If your child is not a confident swimmer but wants to have a go at the Kids Tri, let us know and we can modify/remove their swim leg.
