Packet Pickup Dates & Locations
A Youth athlete without an ID must be accompanied by a parent/guardian with a photo ID. If an athlete does not bring a photo ID to packet pickup, there are two options: 1 Go home to get it 2 Have someone email/text them a copy of their photo ID
When someone other than parent is to pick up a race packet: The person picking up the packet must have a copy of the athlete parent’s ID and written verification from the athlete’s parents that the individual picking up the packet is authorized to do so. Smartphones can also be used to show both a photo of another athlete's ID and a digital copy of their race confirmation.
One person may pick up up to 4 packets at one time to ensure fairness to other standing in line. Should one person be picking up more than the mentioned 4 packets, he or she is welcome to join the packet pickup line again as if they just entered the location.

USAT “RACE AGE” POLICY
An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31 of the current race year. The age he/she is on 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 Grand Prix Series
