Bring Your QR Code - We have a QR code scanner system to expedite your packet pickup process.  Please bring your registration QR code.  The QR code will be in your confirmation email, or you can get your code from the participant list (https://triregistration.com/List.php?eventid=3552).  Just click the QR code button next to your name and show it to the person doing packet pickup.  You'll still need your photo ID too for verification.

Packet Pickup - Please pick up your packet on WEDNESDAY 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.

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


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.

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
