If this is your first entry to the 2010 series, you will receive a complimentary ASICS t-shirt. You will also rack you 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.
