Bag Check - During Racing at Lakeside Park
USA Triathlon will institute a bag check at Duathlon Nationals during racing at Lakeside Park. Each participant will receive a clear plastic bag at packet pick-up to store their gear on race day. The clear plastic security bags are 18x24 inches, and athletes will be permitted to check the bags at the bag check tent near transition. Transition bags or DNC race bags (distributed at packet pick-up) will need to fit inside the clear plastic bags provided for bag check.
Athletes will receive a sticker matching their bib number in their race packet. This number must be adhered to the outside of the bag prior to checking in the bag.
No bags of any kind will be allowed in transition while the races are underway. However, athletes will be permitted to carry gear into transition on race morning between 5:30-7:30 a.m.

It will not be open before the event for practice. It is illegal and dangerous to ride on this road outside of the times it is closed for the race. Thank you for your cooperation.

See Something, Say Something
USA Triathlon supports "If You See Something, Say Something®," a national campaign led by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), at its events. The
campaign raises public awareness of the indicators of terrorism and terrorism-related crime, as well as the importance of reporting suspicious activity to state and local law enforcement. Informed, alert communities play a critical role in keeping our nation safe. We can all help keep our communities safe by paying attention to our surroundings and reporting suspicious activity to local law enforcement.
