Important Information

Registration will be available on the SATURDAY at the RACE PRECINCT, Sylvan Beach Esp. Registration will open at 11:00am. Transition will open at 1.00pm and will close at 1.45pm.

Before entering the Registration Area please rack your bike in the rack near the Registration Area and line up in the queue.

Please bring your eTicket with you to registration. You will be unable to collect your race kit without this ticket.

The attendant will supply you with a sticker to attach to your bike. This sticker will allow you to take your Bike into the transition area and more importantly to take your bike out of Transition after the Triathlon has finished. All bike racks are numbered. You must rack your bike in the space that matches the number on your bike sticker.

After collecting your bike sticker please proceed to the scribe staff to have your body Numbered.

You must be numbered in order to enter transition, both before and after the event. If you don’t have this sticker on your bike, or are not numbered correctly, you will be unable to collect your bike after the event has finished.
