Is it compulsory to attend the race briefing?

Teams Only – What do we do with the bib and timing chip?
The bib and timing chip will be given to the runner at registration (leg 1) – the bib and timing chip is passed on to all competitors at each transition. It’s like a relay baton. The bib must be worn as the outer most garment at all times(including over the top of hydration systems/backpacks). Timing chip must be worn on the left ankle (needs to be close to the ground to ensure an accurate reading). Do not place timing bands on bike handle bars.

Where do I put the timing chip?
Your timing chip must be worn around your left ankle at all times. It needs to be on the ankle so it’s close to the timing mats. If you wear this on your wrist, we cannot guarantee you an accurate result.

Can I wear my hydro-pack or PFD over my race bib?
No, your race bib must be the outer most garment at all times. We need to be able to see your race number at all times. It will stretch.

What type of PFD (Personal Flotation Device) do I need for the paddle leg?
This must be type 2 or 3. This must be worn at all time. Your race bib must be worn over the top of this.

No.

What type of bike helmet is required for the bike leg?
Certified Bike Helmet to AUS/NZ/US standard. It must be fastened before leaving a transition area.

Is there a water station on the run leg?
No – you must carry your own hydration for ALL legs.

When should I pick up my race gear from the transition areas?
As soon as possible – It would be great if you are a team to pick up as you go. If you are an individual, perhaps have your support crew meeting you at each spot collecting your items.

What happens to items left at the transition area?
Any items left at the transition areas will be taken back to the finish line and placed in Lost Property. Please label all items clearly with your full name and contact phone number so we can try to get them back to you.
