TOP
What do I need to bring to Packet Pick-up?
All participants will need a picture ID. If you are a USA Triathlon member, you MUST have your card with you. If you have lost your card, go to the USA Triathlon web site (http://www.usatriathlon.org/login.html) to print out a copy. We will not take your word that you are a current member.
TOP
I am not a USA Triathlon member. What do I do?
You will be required to fill in a one-day permit form at packet pick-up. All non-USAT members must fill in the form, even if you paid for your one-day permit when you registered for the event.
TOP
I think I paid for my USA Triathlon one-day permit when I registered.  What do I do?
If you paid for the permit when you registered, our records will indicate that you did so. You will still need to fill out the one-day permit form. If you did not pay with your entry, you will be required to pay the one-day fee before you get your packet. One-day fees can only be paid by CASH or CHECK.
TOP
I paid for an Annual USAT License at a previous event but have never received my card. What do I do?

First, go on line to USA Triathlon web site (http://www.usatriathlon.org/login.html) to check you membership status. You may be listed as a current member and be able to print out a card. Quite often you will show up as a member long before they send out your membership packet.

If you do not show up as a member, bring the yellow copy of the USA Triathlon membership application showing that you paid for an annual membership with you to packet pick-up as proof of membership.
