While we love mates who look out for mates unfortunately you can’t check in on behalf of someone else. It’s illegal for someone else to compete under your name or for you to compete under someone else's name. This is for the safety of yourself and all competitors and it’s critical we know who is on the course at all times. Please make sure the right team members / individuals are listed on your entry - this can be changed at the Help Desk at Check-In.
Teams Check-In - Only one team member is required to attend Check-In, but it is recommended that all attend if possible. We can change/add competitors details at the help desk at Check-In.

Zone 1 - Under 28 minutes
Zone 2 - Between 28 - 31 minutes
Zone 3 - Between 31 - 35 minutes
Zone 4 - Over 35 minutes

Sprint Triathlon - Must rack bikes on Friday
Standard Distance and Relay Teams - Must rack bikes on Saturday
To enter transition your bike must display your seat post sticker, and you must wear your corresponding ID wristband found in your Race Kit (which you collect at Check-In).
Your bike will be visually inspected by AusTriathlon officials. This is not a guarantee of safety. Competitors are responsible for their bikes being in safe working order. You should ensure your bike, as well as your helmet, is in safe working order before presenting to transition.
Security will be on patrol Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday morning. It’s a good idea to take a photo of where you’re bike is racked in transition or add a colorful ribbon to your bike. The end of the racks will be numbered.
