What to Bring to Packet Pick-Up / Check-In
Please bring a photo identification. At check-in we will issue a wristband that you must put on at that time and wear until you leave Quarry Lakes Park Saturday. PLEASE KEEP YOUR WRISTBAND ON UNTIL YOU LEAVE SATURDAY.

Popular Question - Can I pick up a packet for a friend or have a friend get my packet?
The answer is YES. However, we must see a photo identification (copy is fine) of the person to issue their packet, and race number. Athletes that had their packet picked up for them Friday will need to go to the "Info Table" Saturday morning and show their PHOTO ID AND RACE NUMBER TO RECIEVE THEIR WRISTBAND SATURDAY MORNING. All athletes must be wearing a wristband Saturday morning. Only one wristband per athlete will be issued. Do not remove your wristband until you leave the park on Saturday.

Just Added: Fremont Open Water Swim Clinic
We've had a lot of requests to offer another open water swim clinic so we've added a clinic at Quarry Lakes on Sunday, June 8th from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Learn how to swim safely and effectively in the open water. Open water swimming can be intimidating to even the most experienced triathlete. The clinic will be 2 hours and is designed to help you overcome your fears and teach you how to stay calm and safe in the water. We will have safety swimmers and paddlers in the water to assist you. There is no swimmer too inexperienced, this is for everyone~ our goal is to give you a positive open water swimming experience. (more)
