Course Information:
Please note the following important instructions for the Motor City Triathlon: This is a 2 transition, point to point event which is a little different format than typical multi-sport events.
TRIATHLETES: At Transition 2 (T-2), only run gear should be placed. Swim and bike gear should be stored at Transition 1 (T-1).
DUATHLETES ONLY: Keep your bike gear at T-2.
This event features two transition areas due to the beach being one mile away from the finish line, a parking area, and T-2 located at Shelter #1. Please park at T-2/finish line on Central. Then set your running gear and ride your bike to T-1. DO NOT drive down to the swim start, T-1. Your gear will be transferred from T-1 to T-2 for your convenience. It is YOUR responsibility to label your equipment bag with your name and RACE #. We are not responsible for any lost items. Do not put valuables, keys, etc. in your gear bags for transport back to T-2. Use a bright-colored bag that stands out to facilitate easy identification amidst the numerous gear bags.
Again, it is YOUR responsibility to bring a gear bag and mark it with YOUR RACE # and name. We will not provide bags. Anything not placed in a bag will be put in a general pile.
