Prepping for Race Day

Triathlon 101 Clinics

Triathlon 101 clinics are designed to guide participants through race day procedures. We will touch on the route, and participants can ask any questions about the race they may have to our race director. No RSVP is needed for the clinics, all registered participants are welcome to show up on the date and time of the event. If you have any questions please contact ubc.triathlon@ubc.ca.

Mandatory Bike and Helmet Check

All competitors must complete a bike and helmet check prior to the race through our partner Bicycle Sports Pacific. Bike checks are to confirm that you fulfill your TriBC safety requirements, regardless of the last check you may have completed. Bike checks can be done at any BSP location, on race package pick-up day (February 26th), or on race day. We strongly recommend getting your bike & helmet checked prior to race day, as it can be very busy on race day.

Please Note: that all members of relay teams must be present to sign a waiver in order to receive the team's race package.

Wet Bag Process

Participants will be given a bag when they pick up their race package. Fill it with anything you would like to have following your swim (e.g. towel, change of clothes, flip flops) and drop it off with our staff on the pool deck on Race Day. After your swim, your wet bag will be handed to you as you exit the pool and before you get changed. You can also leave your wet bag at the pool and it will be available at cycle trans following your race.
