The start for both the duathlon and triathlon is located at Quarry Beach Park, as is the transistion area. The finish line for the run course is at Batavia City Hall. You can look at this map (PDF file) for a better idea of the geographic proximity of those sites. More details about the course for each leg of the race may be found on the Race Format page.

Check-in and transition will open at 5:00 AM. You may not enter the transition area until after you check-in. Transition will be open in general until 6:00 AM.

The pre-race instructions will be given at 6:10 AM. The National Anthem will be performed at 6:25 AM, and then competitors should begin to assemble so that the race starts at 6:30 AM.

Parking

There are three parking lots north of Quarry Beach Park that you may use, but they are pretty small and they will fill up fast! Otherwise, you may park on the residential side streets (unless otherwise posted) west of Route 31 (Batavia Ave.) and south of Main St. There will be no parking at the Quarry Beach Park itself.
Lot #1 - River West Fitness (aerial picture)
You may park in the lot behind River West Fitness, east of Water St. between First St. and Main St.

Lot #2 - Shumway Ave. (aerial picture)
You may park in the striped parking spaces on the east side of Shumway Ave. south of First St. Park only in the striped spaces, as the running event will be using Shumway Ave. and must not be obstructed by cars.

Lot #3 - Wilson St. Shopping Center (aerial picture)
You may park in the east portion of the lot as shown in the picture. The shopping center contains restaurants that open for breakfast, so you may NOT park near Daddio's Diner, Walgreens, or Panera Bread.

Helpful Reminders

Don't forget to bring warm clothes to wear in the morning while you wait to start. The weather can be pretty chilly at 5:00 AM in June.
Don't forget your bike helmet; no riders will be allowed on the course without one.
Body Markers will be available outside the transition area. You must have your body marked before you enter the transition area.
Pick up your timing chip before you enter the transition area.
Glass containers are not allowed in the transition area for safety reasons.
You may not wear headphones or earbuds during the race. They are prohibited by USAT rules, as they impair your ability to hear other competitors around you.
No spectators will be allowed in the pool area during the swim. You can watch from outside the pool area. This is for the safety of our athletes.
The swim start will take place in numerical order. The interval between racers will be 5 seconds. It is the racer’s responsibility to be at the swim start on time. Please be ready to go in the waiting area at 6:00 AM sharp to line up in order.
Make sure you have your race number on the front of your body or clothing when you finish the run.
When starting out on the bike course, athletes must NOT mount their bikes until they cross the mounting line. There will be plenty of volunteers on the course letting you know where this is. Athletes must also dismount at this line and run their bikes into the transition area for safety purposes.
Make sure to stay to the right side of the road on the bike course unless you are passing. Once you have passed (on the LEFT), move back to the right side of the road. Be LOUD on the bike course; let a rider know you will pass by saying, “On your left!” Be safe! The course will be partially closed to traffic, but the police may have to let some vehicles through so be aware of what is going on around you. Also, many portions of the bike course will have riders traveling in both directions.
You will not be able to remove your bikes from transition area until ALL bikers have left transition. Please plan accordingly. The transition area will be secured until 11:00 AM.
Don't forget the post-race party where there will be food, beverages and live music!
Please vote for the best water stop. The water stops are managed by non-profit organizations and the top water stop receives $250. Your ticket to vote is on the bottom of your bib number.
There are dozens of raffle prizes. Winners are randomly drawn. Please check the raffle winners list located next to the race results posting and at the beer tent. The grand prize, a Trek road bike, will be raffled off after the awards ceremony at 10:30 AM.
The awards ceremony will start at 9:45 AM. Awards will be given to overall winners and top three finishers in each age group. Relay teams also receive awards.

Have a great race, but most importantly, be safe and HAVE FUN!
