Outer Banks Sporting EventsTRI Race Information

Hydration & Aid Stations

We encourage you to be as self- supported as possible with the hydration you may need on the bike and a hand-held water vessel for the run.  There will be (1) hydration table with small bottles on the SPRINT run course-you will pass twice. There will be (2) on the Olympic run course, one of which you will pass twice.

Port-O-Johns are located at swim Start, transition, at/near all run course aid stations and the Finish area.

Wet Suit Wave - On Race Morning

The USAT official will sample the water temperature and determine if it is wet suit legal. If the temperature is 78 or higher, a separate wave will be added for those who choose to wear a wet suit. These participants will not be eligible for overall or age group awards. There will be a signup sheet for this wave located at the packet pick-up tent.

Relay Team Instructions

Relay team members will check in individually to pick up their packet. Bring your ID and Bib number.

• Each relay member will receive a bib with the team number on it. The runner is required to wear the bib.
