Step One (Check-In)

Immediately upon entering transition area, check-in is divided by last name A-L or M-Z.

At this check-in you will have to sign a waiver conformation form.
Also you will receive your security band. Please attach your security band at this time as you will need it on your wrist before you are issued a timing chip.

Athletes must go through this table before continuing on to the next step.

Step Two (Event Bag Pick-Up)

Divided by last name A-L or M-Z

At bag pick-up we will first verify your name, age, gender and race event.
You will receive your numbered swim cap, bib and timing chip. At this time please verify that the number on all three items are the same.
Only the swimmer on a relay team will receive a timing chip.
Lastly you will receive your event bag (Note: If there is higher than anticipated registration numbers, athletes who register late will not be guaranteed a full race bag.)

The most asked question! As Clear Lake is a spring fed lake the temperature can vary from year to year. Over the last ten years the water temperature has averaged 19C. Wetsuits are strongly recommended for 2022 (Will be determined by Triathlon Manitoba Race Officials)

If I get tired and in trouble in the swim can I hang onto a buoy or kayak?

Yes, as long as you do not make any forward progress. If you do move forward you will be disqualified.

Registration packages are given out at the Friday Check-in between 4:00 and 8pm. Each athlete must be present to pick up there own package. All members of a relay team must pick up their own package. Due to varying registration numbers, a complete registration package is not guaranteed for every racer.

Are the results posted before the full race is finished?

Yes, preliminary results are posted before all athletes are in as time permits. They are posted on the information board by the kiosk in the transition area. It is important to know that these results are preliminary and not official. Once the official results are complied they will be posted and their official status duly noted.

Where can I, as well as my family and friends, park race morning?
