Here are a few details that you'll need to get you through race day.
Parking
Parking is available at Pond's Edge Professional Park, 901 Ethan Allen Hwy (approximately .25 miles from the
intersection with Picketts Ridge Road). Racers and Spectators are not permitted to park at Martin Park this
year.
Registration
The race will start promptly at 7 am and packet pick-up and the transition area will be open at 5:00 (bring a
photo id). All race participants must be a member of USAT for course sanctioning. If you are not a member
then you must pay $10 on race day for a one-day membership. Current USAT members are asked to bring
their USAT license. Do not forget to bring your ID and $10 to registration that morning - no exceptions! We will
also be holding packet pickup on Friday, June 4th at Georgetown Auto Body (27 Catoonah St) from 5:30-7:30pm and
Sat, June 5th at Georgetown Auto Body from 9am-12 pm. This is in the middle of town, so there is more
parking all around the shop if the lot is full, especially at one of the sponsor stores, Ridgefield Cyclesport.
Packets will be available race morning as well.
Transition Area
The transition area will not be available until you have picked up your race number and volunteers have written
your number on your arms and legs. Please note that here is a single exit and entrance to the transition area.
The transition area will be monitored by volunteers and the Ridgefield Police department throughout the race
and until you pick up your belongings. Poland Spring Water and HEED will be present at the transition during
the race.
Race Number and Chip
We will be using Champion Chip timing by Platt Tiiming and will provide you with a chip. We will be providing
ankle straps to hold race chips to all participants. Chips must be worn on your ankle at all times during the
race, no exceptions.
Swim
The swim will start in 6 waves based on age and gender. There will be 3 minutes in between waves. All
participants are required to wear the swim cap that we will provide in your race packet. We highly recommend
you rent/buy a wet suit.
Bike
Please follow all USAT biking rules (no drafting/blocking, helmets required) and marshals will be monitoring the
course. No iPods or other music players are allowed on the race course (bike or run) at any time.
Run
There will be aid stations in transition, at mile one, and mile two. They will be stocked with Poland Spring
water, Hammer HEED, and gels.
Finish Line
There will be a post-race party with breakfast served by Cohen's Bagels. Age group awards and gift baskets
for the top three male and female finishers will be given out after the last racer finishes. Please feel free to
bring along the family and friends!!
