- ALL USA Triathlon (USAT) members must show proof of a current membership at packet pick up. If you are not a current USAT you MUST pay $10 and buy a one-day USAT membership. If you have recently renewed your USAT annual membership, then you MUST print out a temporary card or receipt of payment and bring to packet pick up.

- USAT’s “Age Up” Policy – An athlete’s age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31, 2011. The age he/she is as of 12/31 will determine his/her racing age group. If an athlete is due to “age-up” into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete’s birthday. This action aligns regular U.S. age group racing with the method used by USA Triathlon for its National Rankings Program and its new Grand Prix Series.
- Example: Julie Smith is 29 and will turn 30 on November 20, 2011. Julie will be considered 30 for all 2011 races – and will race in the 30-34 age group at all 2011 races.
- This same policy applies to the all race categories in Y Tri Race Series and all other USAT sanctioned events.
