Important Hy-Vee Triathlon Pre-Race Guidelines

All Hy-Vee Triathlon participants (individuals and all team members) are required to attend a race briefing. Race briefings are held every half hour on Friday, June 11, from 12 noon to 6 p.m., and Saturday, June 12 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Briefings will be held at Valley Southwoods Freshman High School and take approximately 20 minutes.

Packet Pick-Up

Please be aware that you MUST attend a race briefing before you can pick up your race packet. Race officials will not allow you to pick up your packet without attending the race briefing.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TEAMS: Each member of the team must attend a mandatory race briefing and pick up his/her own race packet. You do not need to do this as a team. Each participant can attend a different race briefing if you desire.

Once you've completed the briefing, you are only allowed to pick up your own packet and must present a valid government-issued photo ID to do so. You will not be able to pick up your packet without a photo ID.

USAT members must bring a valid USAT card and photo I.D. to packet pick-up or pay $10.00 (cash or check) for the one-day USAT fee (no exceptions). If non-USAT members did not pay the USAT fee when they registered, they will need to pay the one-day fee at packet pick-up as well.

All minors must be accompanied to packet pick-up by a legal guardian as waivers need to be signed on behalf of the minor.

Packet pick-up is at Valley Southwoods Freshman High School on Friday, June 11, from 12:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. CDT and Saturday, June 12, from 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. CDT. Each racer must pick up their own packet. The Triathlon Expo will also be held during this time.

There is no race morning packet pick-up.
