Key logistics and rules: Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
- Packet pickup and bike drop occur the day before at the event expo and at Creve Coeur Park. Bike drop is recommended; transition racking follows race-number order.
- Athletes must wear a wristband to access transition, wear the timing chip on the left ankle, display a bike sticker and helmet sticker, and show the bib while running. Relay teams may use two or three people; the timing chip is handed off in transition.
- USAT membership or a one-day USAT pass is required; a USAT official will enforce rules.
- Wetsuit use depends on water temperature: legal at or below 78.0 F, optional 78.0-83.9 F (those athletes are not eligible for awards or USAT points), and not allowed at or above 84.0 F.
- On-course support: water and electrolyte drink on the run; no aid stations on the bike—athletes must be self-sufficient. A bike mechanic and SAG vehicle will be available.
- Time cutoffs apply by discipline; race management may remove or DNF athletes who cannot finish within the posted cutoffs.
