Race Pack Collection

You must show your race number confirmation email (you’ll receive this just prior to KVT weekend) when picking up your race pack. Failure to do so will result in athletes having to purchase a new entry on the day, with this being refunded the following week if a valid registration can be confirmed.

Race packs can be collected from the RAC Karri Valley Resort campground recreation room next door to reception on Friday 15th March between 4pm and 8pm. The bar will be open and a food trailer will be selling family friendly food options during pack collection so feel free to stick around after collecting your pack.

Last minute race pack collection will be available from the transition area on race day between 7.30am and 8.45am.

You will be provided with your race number bib, swim cap, timing chip and race number bike sticker. The sticker is to be applied to your bike’s seat post or frame before you enter transition. You will not be permitted to enter transition without the sticker applied, and will be required to match this with your race number bib when removing your bike from transition after the race.

It is compulsory that all competitors wear the swim cap that is issued at registration and a Triathlon Australia approved wetsuit. The swim is in fresh water which is dark and not as buoyant as sea water.

EVENT SCHEDULE

Racing Rules

We are racing under the Triathlon Australia (TA) Race Competition Rules.

Triathlon is an individual sport and it is your responsibility to fully understand the rules. Technical Officials will be monitoring the course throughout the day. Remember to treat other athletes, volunteers, supporters and officials with courtesy and consideration.

Wetsuits Compulsory

As the swim is in fresh water, wetsuits are compulsory. Fresh water is less buoyant and the lake has some cold spots!

Short Course Drafting

The draft distance for the short course is 10 metres with a 3 minute time penalty.

Long Course Drafting

The draft distance for the long course is 12 metres with a 5 minute time penalty.

Race Number

Athletes are required to wear their race number bib clearly on their back for the Bike Course and front for the Run Course.

Timing Chip Return

Timing chips are to be removed by the competitor at the completion of your race and placed in a receptacle at the finish line. Loss of timing chip will incur a $100 fee.
