Transition Area

The transition area will be open from 5:45am-6:50am. This is where you will rack your bike (with your helmet) and stage any other items you’ll need to transition from the run to the bike and from the bike to the run. During the race, there will be an "enter" end and an "exit" end of the Transition Area. Adjacent to the Transition Area, there will be “Mount Bike” and “Dismount Bike” signs to indicate where to begin/end riding. This ensures safety and that your timing device will be read by the timing mat adjacent to the transition area. Volunteers will be in the Transition Area to assist with proper flow as well as to ensure that bike helmets are properly secured prior to exiting the Transition Area.
