Packet Pickup - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, you may pick up for someone else as long as you have confirmation number from that person(s) entry. Bring your valid ID so we can write down who picked up the packet in case there is an issue on race day. This ensures the packets are not picked up without the person knowing.
No. Because Lake Sammamish State Park is a public park, we try to minimize the amount of time we're displacing other park users. Therefore we set up the Transition Area (TA) on Friday evening. It is not secure until 6 am on Saturday morning, race day.
Yes you can. In fact, we recommend it. Just one less thing to do on race day before checking your gear into the Transition Area (TA). But if you don't, you can still get marked on race day. Typically we have the body marking station just outside the entrance to the TA.
No. You can pick up your packet on Saturday morning, race day. Packet pickup opens at 5:30 am on race day at the State Park. It closes 30 minutes before the start of each race.
- 6:30am - closes for Sprint Triathlon
- 8:00am - closes for 5K Run
- 9:00am - closed for Kids Triathlon
No. Our timing company needs to get all the participant data into the timing database prior to the start of the each race. We're cutting it pretty close as it is giving them only 30 minutes to get the job done. We appreciate your understanding.
Yes. We've been working with the Rangers at the State Park for years now. They'll have the gates open on time for us. Be sure to tell them thanks for all their support of this event. We couldn't do it with them!
No. Each Team is given one timing chip ? think of it as a baton that needs to be passed to each athlete. If you have a three person team, each team member does one leg. For a two person team, one person has to do two legs.
Example: Team of Two - Sue & Bill
Sue does the swim and run and Bill does the bike. Sue would get the timing chip and do the swim, run back into the Transition Area (TA). Bill will be waiting already with his bike. Bill takes the chip off of Sue?s leg (fingers are cold from the water), puts it on his leg and blasts out of the TA and does the bike course. Sue hangs out in their spot in the TA and changes into her running gear. Bill completes his bike ride, comes back into their spot in the TA and Sue takes the chip off of Bill?s leg and puts it on her leg. Sue then runs out of the TA onto the run course. Bill can change or relax and then head over to the Finish Line. Bill can either wait for Sue on the other side, or join Sue about 100 yards out, so they can cross the Finish Line together.
