Saturday, September 12th - Packet pick-up will be held at Treads Bicycle Outfitters in Parker (10831 S. Crossroads Drive). Treads is on the NW corner of Parker Rd. and Main St., behind the Taco Bell & Long John Silver's restaurant.
Packet Pick-Up times are from 10:00am-3:00pm.
Pre-Race Meetings at 11:30am and 1:30pm.
Race Day Packet Pick-Up will still be at the Parker Rec Center from 6:00-7:00am, but there will be long lines! Please try to come Saturday instead. All packets will need to be picked up BEFORE the race begins at 7am! Please bring your photo I.D. with you to packet pick-up.
NO packets will be given out without a photo I.D.
We will be handing out the timing chips RACE MORNING just before you enter the pool for your swim. We did this in 2008 and it worked beautifully and helped with the lost/forgotten chips on race day. If you were to lose your timing chip, it would cost you about $100 to replace.
The duathlon starts at 8:00 out by the transition area so you will be able to get your timing chips 20 minutes before we start the duathlon out by the transition area only, not in the pool area.
The transition area will open at 5:30a.m. on race day.
All bikes need to be racked 45 minutes prior to swim time. Please be courteous to other racers. We will make every attempt to keep the transition area clear; only participants will be allowed in the transition area. This is to your benefit, to prevent injury and theft. Please help us in this endeavor by keeping your supporters out of the area. Helmets must be strapped onto your head prior to exiting and upon re-entering the transition area.
This year the funds will help support Key Clubs at Regis Jesuit, Smoky Hill, Grandview, Cherry Creek, and Eaglecrest High Schools. (Key Clubs provide leadership training for high school students via community service). The Parker Police Explorers (cadets) and the Mile High Harley Chapter of Aurora (provides funds to local charities) will also receive funds.
