Event Info: Reston Triathlon

Packet Pickup

The Saturday before the triathlon - 11:00am to 3:00pm - at South Lakes High School. You need to pick up your packet containing your race numbers, have your bike helmet checked, and pick up other pre-race information. You must pick up your packet in person and you must have a photo ID. (Substitutions are not allowed. Athletes involved in substitution will be permanently banned from the Reston Triathlon and reported to USA Triathlon).

You will be required to sign a waiver at packet pickup.

Champion Chip timing will be used for this race. Athletes who are using their own chips must bring them so the number can be verified.

If you cannot pick up your packet between 11-3 pm on Saturday, you must notify us in advance by e-mail or letter. Any exceptions must be approved in advance prior to packet pickup. There will be no race day packet pickup.

Since the Reston Triathlon is an event sanctioned by USA TRIATHLON you must bring your membership card along with a photo ID to packet pickup. Those who elect to use the one-day membership but have not paid for it will be charged $10 at pickup.

Race Day

To reduce traffic congestion on the thoroughfares of Reston and to get our bikes off the roads earlier in the day, the Triathlon will start promptly at 7:00 am at Lake Audubon on Twin Branches Road.

Logistics

There will be no parking at the lake on race day, so you must park your vehicle in the parking lots at South Lakes High School located on South Lakes Drive at Langston Hughes Middle School lot or Ridge Heights Road.

Any vehicles parked on Twin Branches will be towed. You will drop off your bike/run transition gear at the high school and ride your bike to the lake, which is about one mile, wearing your bike helmet. All athletes should plan to be at the lake and ready to swim no later than 6:30 am.

Refunds

For those of you who find that circumstances prevent you from participating on race day please let us know, but you cannot get a refund. Click to see our Official Refund Policy
