NOTE: A photo identification is required when you pick up your packet (your packet has your race numbers for your bike and for you to wear on the run). You may not pick up someone else’s race packet for them (USAT rule). If you are a USAT member you must show your card at packet pick up. No exceptions. You will be required to “sign” the USAT waiver upon online registration. You cannot register online unless you are an annual member or pay the $10.00 USAT one day license online (youth are $9.00 USAT annual license only). If you forget your USAT card you will need to purchase a one-day license or go home and get it. Annual USAT memberships can no longer be purchased at events. If you recently purchased a USAT annual membership and have not yet received your card, print out a temporary membership card from the USAT web site (these are all USAT rules that all triathlons must adhere to).
