What is USAT and why do I need a one-day permit?
USAT is the national governing body for triathlons in the United States. A one-day license allows a novice athlete to compete in a USA Triathlon-sanctioned race without purchasing a full membership. The $10 fee provides the athlete with excess accident insurance for that race only.

What happens if I don't have my USAT card at packet pick up?
You will have to pay for a one day USAT membership. This is not refundable.

How does chip timing work?
Each participant will wear a 'chip' that transmits data to the receiving antenna when the athlete crosses a timing mat.

Where do I wear the chip?
A neoprene strap is used to strap the chip to your ankle. You will be given a band when you pick-up your rental chip. Relay teams will use velcro straps to assist in a smooth exchange. Relay members will transfer the timing chip to their teammate following the completion of their leg of the race.

Where and when do I pick up my timing chip?
Your timing chip will be found in your packet, which will be picked up at registration.

Do I need to wear the chip for the entire race?
Yes, timing mats will be set up to record 5 splits: one for each leg (3) and one for each transition (2). If you do not have the chip on when you cross the finish line you are not guaranteed a finish time.

Can I keep my chip?
No, the chips must be turned in at the end of the race. Volunteers will be at the finish line to help with removal. Participants will be charged $35 for unreturned chips.
