Bring Your Photo ID - Please bring your ID to pick up your packet .

Packet Pickup - Please pick up your packet on SATURDAY between 1-6pm at City Bikes located at 671 NW 100 Place, Pembroke Pines!  This will greatly reduce your stress, and ours, on race morning as you’ll avoid long packet pickup lines!  The race starts on time regardless of if there’s a line at packet pickup still.

Pre Race Clinic - There will be a pre-race clinic taking place at 1pm during Packet Pickup at City Bikes Pembroke Pines. The Integrity Multisport race clinic was created to help triathletes and duathletes learn the things they need to know to successfully and safely complete a triathlon. The course is a requirement for first time triathletes, but is open to anyone with questions or just looking to expand their knowledge on triathlon. You don’t even have to be registered for the event to attend!

Racking System - Please rack you bike according to the illustration below to ensure that everyone has space for their bikes and equipment.

Transition Layout


VIP Rack - What's this VIP rack?  How do I get there?  The short answer is to start racing 10-20 years ago!  Everyone on the VIP rack has raced at least 50 races with us and as of 7/1, the following racers will be at the race and have raced over 100 races with us:

• Roger Travis - 170+
• David Cruz - 150+
• Tim Regier - 135+
• Hector Picard - 125+
• Jamie Perko - 120+
• Scott Stephen - 100+

Other VIPs (over 50 races) include Char Davidson, Paul Corban, and Christion Poirier.  We also give regular volunteers that race VIP status as well, like Jon Ellison, who, at 47 races, is nearing VIP status anyway, but always comes and helps.  Come volunteer with us!  It's fun and you get to see the other side!

Parking - The event will take place at the far southern end of Tradewinds Park at the Fritillary Shelter, so please enter the south entrance.  Use the directions link below but follow the parking arrow to the coned off area for parking on race morning:

3600 W Sample Rd, Coconut Creek, FL 33066

Venue Layout - The venue layout and all course maps can be found at https://tradewindstriathlon.com/index.php/race-course/  
 

Laps - You will encounter a very large sign on both the bike and run courses that say Lap with an arrow in one direction and Finish with an arrow in another direction.  If you are in the MINI distance, follow the FINISH ARROW!  If you are in the SPRINT (most of you) distance, follow the LAP ARROW and do a 2nd lap, then follow the FINISH ARROW to complete the bike or run.  IT IS VITAL THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THIS!  Volunteers have no way to know which lap you are on, so YOU AND ONLY YOU must be responsible to know if you need to complete another lap or not.  If you mess up and come in early, just go back out and do another lap.  We'll sort out the times and delete the extra chip times in the timing system.
 

Race Morning - Please arrive on race morning between 5:30 and 6:00 am.  If you arrive earlier you will just be waiting at the gate and blocking our volunteers from getting in.  Please don’t try to enter or block the road before 5:30am.  Also, don’t arrive after 6:00am or you will probably not have enough time to park, get your packet, get your chip, organize your stuff in transition, go to the restroom, warm up, and get to the lake in time for your start.

Spectators - The park gate will close at 6:45 am until 8:00 am, so if anyone is coming to watch you race, they should arrive by 6:30 am or risk getting locked out. 

Chip Pickup - Chip pickup is race morning only.  When you get your chip, please scan it at the computer next to the chips and verify that your information is correct.  If it is not, double check your chip number.  If your chip and bib numbers match and it is still incorrect, please tell someone at packet pickup so they can correct it.
 

Body Marking - We give out body marking tattoos to identify you when you don’t have your race number (i.e. swim).  Please apply them with a wet washcloth or sponge to your left shoulder facing out to the side.
 

Dropping Out - If you are unable to finish the race, please return your chip to the Timing Truck so you are accounted for and we don’t send a search team out looking for you!  Do not give it to someone out on the course.
 

Awards Schedule - The times below are approximate and each ceremony may start a few minutes early or late depending on how long each race ceremony lasts.

• Aquabike & Mini Triathlon - 8:20
• Duathlon - 8:30
• Sprint Triathlon - 8:50

What to bring to a triathlon:

• Your bike (a pump, flat kit, and eye protection are recommended)

• Water: 1. FULL bike bottle with water or sports drink for when you are on the bike, and 2. Water for Transition: after the swim and before the run. 

• Pre-race hydration & nutrition (water, sports drink, bars, etc.)

• Swim goggles (a spare set in case they break in the car is a good idea too)

• Transition towel to wipe off your feet after the swim

• Bike helmet

• Bike shoes if you have clip in pedals

• Running shoes

• Sunscreen

• Race belt for running number (free to those that go to early packet pickup before race day)

• Post race clothing

• Keep all items organized neatly near your bike in Transition. Large bulky items such as folding chairs will be removed from the transition area. 

What you get at PACKET PICKUP (day before the race. Late packet pickup is available to some on race morning):

• Silicone swim cap

• Number kit (contains bike, run, and helmet numbers)

• Race Number Tattoo (please apply before sunscreen)

• T-shirt

• Tote bag

• Race program (select races)

What you get RACE MORNING:

• Timing Chip (return at the finish line).  This is VITAL so you get your race time and splits.  This is a separate line from packet pickup, so if you pick up the day before you do not need to wait in the packet pickup line to get your timing chip.  Please also scan your chip to be sure your information is correct.
