FAQ
What do I need to bring to triathlon packet pick-up/registration?
All triathletes must have an ID AND a copy of their CURRENT (not expired) USAT membership card. This can be the physical card or an image on your Smartphone. There are NO exceptions to this – no USAT card, no race! This is a liability issue for FS Series and for you.
Can I pick up another triathlete’s packet for them?
No. For triathlons, you cannot pick up a packet for another participant. The only exception is for adults picking up for their child.
Am I required to pick up my triathlon packet before race day?
No, but we strongly encourage you to do so. Once you have your bib, and helmet number, you can proceed directly to the body marking station and get your timing chip. Lines are long on race morning, so bypass the packet-pickup line by coming out the day before.
What time should I arrive on race day?
Check-in typically opens at 6:00 a.m-check the schedule on the specific event page. We recommend you get there 60 to 90 minutes before your start time to park and get ready for the race. If you didn’t get your packet before race day, you may want to give yourself even more time.
What is “body marking?”
Every triathlete will have their assigned race number written (with a black marker) on both upper arms, as well as on both thighs. In addition, your age will be marked on the back of your left calf, and/or with your race division if you are racing as a Clydesdale, Athena or Relay.
When do I pickup my triathlon timing chip?
Your triathlon timing chip will be distributed at the event on race morning at the body-marking station. FS Series uses ankle timing chips and offers ankle bands to affix them. The chip and band must be returned when you cross the finish line.
Do I have to be a USAT member to participate in USAT sanctioned races?
Yes, you either have to buy an annual membership or buy a one day membership (available during the registration process.) This provides you with additional insurance coverage for each race.
Why am I “aged-up” in USAT sanctioned triathlons?
USAT bases age on December 31, so you compete in the same age group throughout the year. Example: John Daly is 34, but turns 35 on Dec. 15th. John will be “aged-up” for the entire year, and he will compete in the 35-39 age group for every triathlon in the year.
Can I wear headphones during the race?
No, triathletes cannot use headphones, or carry a cell phone, during any portion of the event.
Is a wetsuit a requirement to wear?
No, but if the water temperature is under 70 we highly recommend a wetsuit.
Are swim caps provided at open water swimming races?
Yes, each participant is given a swim cap with the color of their assigned wave. This will be included in your packet.
How do I update my pool swim time?
Click on the “Change Swim Time” button in RaceReach. You will be able to edit your time the Friday before race week. For seeding purposes, all participants must submit the total time it takes you to swim 250 yards. For the swim, participants are seeded according to their registered total swim time – fastest to slowest. By seeding yourself properly, you’ll end up swimming near people who swim the same pace as you. This will reduce the number of people who you will need to pass or the number of people who will be passing you.
