Step 1: GET YOUR BIB NUMBER
Bib numbers will be posted online one week prior to the race. Bib numbers will also be displayed on a poster adjacent
to the registration tent. This poster will list every athlete’s name and bib number. Once you have obtained your bib
number, you may proceed to the volunteers inside the registration tent to pick up your race packet.
Step 2: PICK UP YOUR RACE PACKET WITH YOUR ID AND USAT CARD
In order to obtain your race packet, you will need to show government issued photo identification and a USAT
membership card (or one-day license receipt). Please bring your USAT card or $15 to purchase a one-day license. If you
are a USAT member and forget your card you may use the USAT Membership App to display your card, otherwise, you
will be required to sign the USAT waiver and purchase a one-day license. Professional triathletes are required to submit
proof of professional status at check-in.
All Relays MUST check in as a team. To ensure that all team members complete the appropriate waivers, partial or
incomplete teams will not be permitted to check-in for absent members of the relay team.

Athlete Wristband
Every Rev3 athlete will receive a numbered Rev3 wristband upon check-in. This band will identify you as an official
participant and must be worn during race weekend. This wristband is required for medical identification purposes and
allows you access to special events, transition, and post-race food and recovery area. Your wristband will have your bib
number on it.
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR WRISTBAND IN ORDER TO RECEIVE YOUR POST-RACE MEAL AND TO RETRIEVE YOUR
BIKE OUT OF TRANSITION AFTER THE RACE.
Race Number Tattoos
Each athlete race packet will contain temporary tattoos for your race day body marking. The tattoos are numbered
corresponding to the athlete race (bib) number. Please ensure the tattoos are applied prior to arriving at transition and
prior to applying sunscreen. DO NOT RELY ON ON-SITE BODY MARKING.
Each race packet should contain the following tattoos:
• Two long, bib-numbered, vertical (to be applied on each upper arm)
• One smaller, rectangular bib-numbered, horizontal (to be applied on the right hand)
• Two digits that make up your race age (to be applied on the right calf)
Tattoo application: REMOVE THE THIN, CLEAR PLASTIC / CELLOPHANE SHEET FIRST. Lay and hold the tattoo on
your skin and then hold a wet cloth on top of the tattoo to dampen the paper (hold for approximately 30 seconds). Once
the tattoo paper is thoroughly saturated, remove the paper. Voila- body marked without having a stranger write on you
before sunrise!
Note: Please apply tattoos before applying sunscreen. Tattoos do not adhere well to skin that has been prepped with
sunscreen.

CEDAR POINT
Tattoo Removal: Apply a layer of tape (scotch, duct, packing) on the tattoo and peel. The tattoo should remove with one
or two swipes.
Race Number Stickers
Each race packet should contain the following bike-marking, race-number stickers:
Sprint/Kids
• One small sticker (to be applied to the front of the helmet)
• One larger sticker (to be applied on the bike with the number displayed on both sides of the bike). It usually is best
to place this sticker on the seat stem or top tube or down tube.
Half:
• One Bag Tag for your Race Morning Gear bag

Please note, sometimes stickers fall off, we highly recommend you mark your bags with sharpies as well as stickers.
Swim Cap
All athletes will be issued a colored swim cap that corresponds to the swim wave in which he or she will start. The raceissued swim cap must be visible during the swim leg of the race. Any athlete who is uncomfortable with the swim for
any reason may request a red swim cap. Red swim caps will notify the swim safety personnel to pay extra attention to
those athletes.

CEDAR POINT
Bib
While you may wear your bib on the bike leg of the race, it isn’t mandatory and athletes will not be penalized without
a bib on the bike. However, the athlete bib must be worn and visible during the run leg of the race. Be sure your
bib faces forward when you enter the finish chute. This will aid timers should you lose your timing chip or in case of
electronic malfunction due to weather.
Step 3: PICK UP YOUR TIMING CHIP
After obtaining the race packet from the registration tent, proceed to the Timing Station to pick up your timing chip and
verify athlete information. You will not be permitted to race without a timing chip so don’t forget this step!
Athletes registered as Athenas (165 lbs+) or Clydesdales (220 lbs+), must weigh-in at the Timing Station before receiving
their timing chip.
Athletes must wear the provided and assigned timing chip at all times while racing. The timing chip should be fastened
to the left ankle with the velcro strap provided. Fasten the timing strap before the swim and leave it on until after your
entire race is completed.
The Rev3 transition coordinator will have spare timing chips in case of emergency.
Important note: Please make sure the timing chip is strapped on the ankle under the wetsuit. This will help ensure you
don’t lose the timing chip during the swim portion of the race. This will also help prevent losing the chip when removing
your wetsuit in transition. Timing mats will scan and read the chip through a wetsuit.
If you lose your timing chip while on the run course, please notify a timing official immediately after crossing the finish
line.
Volunteers will be available to remove the timing chip at the finish line. In the event you do not start or do not complete
the entire race, you must turn your timing chip in to a Rev3 Staff Member or Race Official. Do NOT turn your chip into
a volunteer. Failure to wear your timing chip during the race, return your chip after the event, or pay the replacement cost
of your lost chip may disqualify you from future Rev3 events. Lost timing chip replacement fee: $110.00
Lost or Found timing chips may be returned to:
