Weekend Sports Festival
“Try a Tri” Swim Wave
There are two opportunities to pick up your race packet. Participants racing on
Saturday should pick up their packets on Friday.
Location: Old Mill District, 330 SW Powerhouse Drive, Suite 130
(between Desperado and Jimmy John’s)
Friday, July 15: 4pm to 7:30pm
Saturday, July 16: 1pm to 4pm
7:30am both Saturday and Sunday
If you are new to triathlon, we’ll give you a 30-minute head start! Starting at 7:30am, this wave is more
relaxed and limited in size. This is a great opportunity
for new swimmers to get their feet wet (literally) in the
sport while not having the anxiety of faster swimmers
passing them and still be able to finish the race with the
main pack of triathletes.
If you cannot pick up your packets during these times, you may pick up your
packet early on race morning (6:00 am) near the transition area.

Confidence!

COPAKIds Splash ‘n Dash
Saturday 7/16, noon
Presented by Central Oregon Pediatric Associates, the Splash ‘n Dash is
geared toward FUN for Kids ages 3-10 with an athletic obstacle course, water
slide , pools, balancing beams and more. The race begins with a climb up an
inflatable stair, down a big slide and into a pool of water! The race finishes with
a sprint to the finish line under the inflatable arch. Every participant receives a
finisher’s medal, t-shirt, their own bib number and a complimentary scoop of
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream!
Please set up your transition area before heading to the swim start. The transition is on the webst side of the river, across the flag footbridge from The Old Mill
District. The transition area is on a soft grass surface. Only that day’s athletes
are allowed in the transition area. Family and friends can watch from outside the
fencing. Racks will be numbered, find the rack that matches your bib number
and rack your bike.
While in the transition area, find a volunteer with a marker. They will write your
bib number on your arm and your thigh and your age or category (R for relay) on
the back of your calf.
REI will have a have a bike mechanic station set up for last-minute technical
issues inside the transition area. While there isn’t an official bike check by the
USA Triathlon officials, you are responsible for making sure you are complying
with USAT rules. The number one bike safety issue is having bar end caps on
your handlebars and aero bars – make sure you have end caps on your bars!

Swim
Olympics Distance = 1500 yards
Sprint Distance = 1300 yards
Youth Distance = 400 yards
The swim course is a down-current swim. The average swim time for the Olympic Distance course is
20 minutes. Large white buoys mark both ends of
the swim course. Water temperatures are expected
to be between 60-63 degrees on race morning. Wetsuits are recommended, but not required.
We will have a gear drop-off area at the swim start.
Please use the label included in your race packet
marked with your bib number to mark your gear bag.
Bags will be dropped off post-swim near the transition area.
Swimmers start by lining up in the water at the start
buoy. Kayakers and lifeguards are present along the
course. Hint: the center of the river is the deepest
and has the fastest current.
Swimmers may rest against a buoy, boat, kayak or
stand on the bottom as long as the object is not used
for forward momentum. Thermal caps and booties
are approved by USA Triathlon and considered “part
of the wetsuit.” Note that the river is open to other
recreational users.
