ALL race bibs in all races should be left in-tact, uncut, and visible from the from at all times.
Depending on what event you have chosen to race, participants can pick up their packet at the XTERRA Expo Registration Pavilion at Oak Mountain State Park starting Friday from 4-8pm, Saturday from 7am-3pm, and Sunday from 7-8:30am. Please see the full schedule for more information about when your specific race is permitted to pickup.
Online registration will be open throughout the week, so we recommend that you register before arriving at the park to speed through the pickup process.
Triathletes may only pick up their own packets, and all relay team members must be present to receive the full race packet.
All athletes (triathletes and trail runners) are required to show a photo ID. NO ID, NO RACE, NO EXCEPTIONS. Every single participant, including relay participants, must have a photo ID. Youth athletes without an ID must be accompanied by a parent/guardian with a photo ID. Annual USA Triathlon members are required to show their membership card every time they compete in a USA Triathlon-sanctioned event. If athletes do not show their valid USA Triathlon number and expiration date at packet pickup, they will not be allowed to pick up their race number.
If an athlete does not bring a photo ID to packet pickup there are two options:
a. Go home to get it
b. Have someone text/email/fax them a copy of their photo ID
Any triathlete that has not signed the USA Triathlon waiver prior to packet pickup will be required to do so in order to obtain their race number.
