Medical Information

You will find a medical questionnaire on the back of your race bib. You must complete this questionnaire for your own safety.

Medical supervision will be evident throughout the race. The medical staff has the right to stop any participant during the triathlon or to disqualify an athlete for his own safety. However, please remember that if a medic stops you or if you receive medical attention on the course, this does not necessarily mean that you are disqualified. We will have numerous physiotherapists, nurses and doctors circling the course. The main medical area will be situated near the finish line. Massages will be available near the medical area after the race. .

Categories

Each participant will be placed in an age group category according to his/her age on  December 31st, 2011. At registration please make sure you are in your proper age category and verify all other personal information.  There will be awards for the top 3 finishers in each age group.

NO Bicycle Inspection

There will be no bike inspection as you are responsible for the safety of your own bicycle. Mechanics from MARTIN'S SWISS CYCLE will be on hand at registration and during the race to help you with any minor repairs or adjustments.  To help you avoid any unnecessary cycle breakdowns during the race, The Martin Swiss Pre Race Bike Check List is a must read for all participants.

Esprit Ironman Distance and Demi-Esprit participants, if you need a "Special Needs" bag ask for one at registration. SN is for any special needs (i.e. gel, sandwiches, etc...) that you want given to you during the bike or run.  Before the race, put your SN bags into the appropriate bins (COURSE/RUN or VELO/BIKE) on the Special Needs table located in your transition zone. Do not put anything in this bag that you want back after the race.
