For those athletes staying at Watervillle Valley and it’s resorts, you may easily walk to the race start from your resort parking lots.

PARENTS: Please bring a photo ID and your child’s USA Triathlon card (if they’re a member) to registration. YOU MUST HAVE ID! USAT requires that all athletes show proper identification, and since we have no way of verifying your child’s membership at the race site, it is your responsibility to bring your USAT card OR print out the proof of membership at www.usatriathlon.org if you have lost the card. You’ll pick up your packet, which will include your swim cap, bib number, bike frame number (big sticker), and helmet number (small sticker). You’ll also pick up your goodie bag and race shirt. Then, proceed to body marking. Next, head to the transition area to rack your bike. MC Cycle & Sport will be available for last minute bike emergencies.

PRE-RACE MEETING: Saturday, July 10, at 2:45 PM at transition. Black Fly Tri is a non-competitive, non-timed triathlon FOR FUN. All are encouraged to attend this meeting to go over rules, procedures, course layout, and race-day activities.

RACE DAY: Once you’ve parked and have picked up your packet, make your way to body marking, located next to the transition area. This will be the first thing you do on race day. Volunteers will body mark you with your number before you proceed to the transition area. Next, head to the transition area to rack your bike in it’s assigned spot. Each bike rack spot is numbered, and will match your bib number. You must wear the swim cap issued at registration and be ready to start in numerical order. Please allow time for the short walk down to the swim start. The first swimmer will start at 3:00 PM. All athletes must be out of the transition area by 3:00 PM when the first swimmer starts. The swim is a time trial start. Athletes will line up according to their race number and swim cap color, in numerical order. Athletes will then be sent over the timing mat individually at 5 second intervals, to begin their swim. Typical water temperature in Corcoran’s Pond is 70 degrees F. There will be lifeguards, boats and kayaks on the 50 yard TYR SWIM course to assist you if needed.

After completing the swim, you will transition to the 1.5 mile MAVIC BIKE course. You must buckle your helmet before you take your bike off the rack, and keep it buckled until after you re-rack your bike. Triathletes are encouraged to bring a water bottle on the course. MC CYCLE AND SPORT will be patrolling the course to aid with any mechanical problems. ALL TURNS WILL BE CLEARLY MARKED WITH SIGNS, AND MANNED WITH VOLUNTEERS AND POLICE OFFICERS. PAY ATTENTION!! Course maps are available on the website, www.blackflytri.com, and will also be available at packet pickup. There will be maps posted next to the registration tent. Always stay to the right of the roadway and do not cross the center line. Please dismount from your bike at the marked location before entering the transition area.

After the bike, you will transition to the .5 mile RUN. Please remember to wear your race number on the front at all times. There will also be an aid station stocked with WATER as you exit the swim and when you start your run.
