Transition Area

Please be mindful of others when placing your equipment in the transition areas.  For security of your equipment, ONLY athletes are allowed inside the transition so make sure you have your wristband and race bib with you when entering the transition area. Supporters need to wait outside. Please leave valuables at home or with your supporters. Do not leave them in transition.

The following requirements apply to all transition areas (TA) and constitute part of the event rules:

  • For Teams: Only the teammate in the immediate next leg is permitted to wait inside the TA – other teammates and support crews must wait outside the fenced-off enclosure. Do not crowd around the entry to the TA, but leave space for other competitors. Exchange the timing chip next to your equipment. These points will be strictly enforced.

  • For Teams and Individuals: No external support may be provided inside the fenced-off TA (or out on the course).

  • Bike Collection: Bikes may only be collected from the TA upon presentation of the matching ‘bike collection tag’ that was attached to the bike number plate, or running bib number. (Remember to remove the bike collection tag before placing your bike in the TA)

If weather conditions may potentially cause any amendments to the format and distance of the event or the postponement or cancellation of the event, race organizers will communicate in the days prior to the event via email, and on the website to race participants. If a decision is to be made on the day of the event, announcements will be made at the Race Village. Please note the event will be staged unless extreme weather conditions occur on the day of or leading up to the event. i.e. not just a bit of rain.
