Course Details:

Swim: 750 meters

This may be your only change EVER to swim in a waterski lake! At only 6 feet deep in the middle, Call’s Fort Waterski Lake is the BEST swim venue you’ll ever experience.  For those of you who are new to open water swimming and concerned about your safety, the sides of the lake are only a few feet away where you can stand up until you’re ready to go again! The swim course will be in a rectangular configuration so that you’ll never be more than a few feet from the shore!

Bike: 12.4 miles

Bike Course: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3113240

The bike course will consist of an out-and-back course on country roads in Honeyville! Participants must obey USA Triathlon competitive rules and follow all traffic laws. To view the USA Triathlon rule book, visit http://www.usatriathlon.org.

Run Course: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=3113241

The run course will consist of three loops around Call’s Fort Waterski Lake on a hard-packed dirt path for a total of 3-miles. Your family and friends will be able to see you and cheer you on the entire time!

Packet pick up

Salt Lake Running & Multisport will be hosting the ASICS packet pickup on Tuesday, September 8th from 7:00-8:30 pm at their Salt Lake/Sugarhouse store (3142 South Highland Drive).
Per USA Triathlon rules, you MUST have current photo ID at packet pickup. You MUST pick up your packet in person. You may not have someone else pick up your packet for you. NO PHOTO ID, NO RACE, period. If you are an annual USA Triathlon member, you MUST show your current USAT membership card. If you fail to bring it, you will be required to pay the $10 single day membership fee. If you cannot pay the $10 fee, you will not race. NO EXCEPTIONS. (We will not be able to accept credit cards at packet pickup). If you stated "pending" for your USAT membership number, you MUST have proof of membership by printing out a temporary membership card on http://www.usatriathlon.org. If you do not have this, you MUST pay the $10 fee.

Again: You MAY NOT pick up a packet/timing chip for another person. In order to be covered by USAT insurance you MUST follow these guidelines. You must pick up your own packet, no exceptions.

Photography

Zazoosh! will be at the event providing photo opportunities. Photo previews will be available for purchase early the following week.

Parking

Plentiful parking is available at the race site in the adjacent fields.

Podcast

Tri-Talk, Utah's leading triathlon podcast provider, will be producing a podcast that will be available for download approximately one week prior to the event. This is a great source for up-to-date information about packet pickup, description of the courses, and more.

Results

Results will be posted no later than Saturday evening on TriUtah's website and at http://www.milliseconds.com.

Safety/Medical

Medical personnel will be on-site to provide first aid and medical assistance if needed.

Timing

Electronic chip timing of the event will be provided by Milliseconds Sports Timing (http://www.milliseconds.com). All participants will be timed and will be provided with their swim, bike and run splits, as well as their overall finish time. Instructions for chip use will be provided in your race packet.

Transition Area

There will be a single transition area. You will have an assigned rack location and bikes will be racked according to bib number with ~8 bikes per rack (4 on each side). Your front bike tire should face out from the side of the rack where your nametag is located. If possible, rack your bike by placing the nose of your seat on the bike rack. There is no bike riding inside the transition area before or during the event. Doing so will result in a time penalty enforced by the USA Triathlon officials.

USAT

For general questions regarding USAT insurance, rules, regulations and membership click on the following link: http://www.usatriathlon.org/.

What Athletes Need to Know About Insurance Coverage: When an athlete purchases an annual USAT license or one-day permit, a portion of those fees goes to cover the cost to provide them with excess medical insurance. This coverage only extends to their participation in a USA Triathlon sanctioned event.

If you have questions specific to your coverage, please email to sanction@usatriathlon.org or call the group benefits department at ESIX at 1-800-342-4371.
