WETSUITS:  

Athletes don't need a wetsuit to participate, it's an option if water temperatures are below 78 degrees.  If below 78, you are permitted to wear one and still be USAT "legal."  

Race day water temperature should be hovering around 78.  Check back for more up-to-date information regarding the temperatures at Table Rock Lake.  

USA TRIATHLON  

In addition to registration, athletes will need to purchase a USAT Membership for either $15 for a one-day membership or $50 for an annual membership.  This process is handled through the online registration platform.  Athletes will have the option to verify their current USAT membership, renew a membership, or purchase a new membership.

​Packet Pick-up

• Friday, September 18 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Table Rock State Park, at the pavilion near the park office.  We recommend picking up packets at this time.  If you cannot make it Friday evening, packet pickup will also be held Saturday, September 19 from 6:00 am - 7:00 am.
• USA Triathlon membership cards and ID are required for packet pick up. All participants must be checked in by 7:00 am
• The first wave will begin promptly at 8:00 am. 
  

RACE DAY SCHEDULE

The race starts at 8:00 am. We recommend athletes arrive at the race site at 6:15 am. 

The race-start location is at Table Rock State Park; there will be plenty of signs to follow.  The finish will take place at the Red Loop Trail Head on the White River Valley Trail system, approximately .25 miles away. Parking for the event will be the parking lots at just inside the park by the boat launch area.  There will be plenty of signs and you may be directed where to park when you arrive. 

All participants should have their bikes and shoes set up in the transition area before 7:40 am. 

We hope that each of you has a wonderful racing experience. We are thrilled that you have chosen the sport of triathlon and hope that you continue to participate for many years to come.
