                                                            Event Info

All registrations will be in the registration tent at the venue.  Registration is the process during which you pick up your goodie bag and receive all the information you need for event day. If this is your first entry to the 2010 series, you will receive a complimentary ASICS t-shirt. You will also rack your bike in transition so allow some time to familiarise yourself with the layout of the bike compound and the run and bike entry and exit points. We'll have a team of volunteers to help you! We have security looking after the bikes over night.
