EVENT BRIEFING

EVENT SCHEDULE Par Sands Holiday Park, Par, PL24 2AS

Registration Event Briefing Start 1st Finisher (exp.) Last Finisher (exp.) Awards/Prizes

11:30 – 12:30 12:45 13:00 – 14:30 13:30 15:15 15:30






Participants have access to changing facilities at Par Sands Holiday Park’s swimming pool from 11:30am onwards. Please only take the gear you need for the cycle and run legs into the transition zone as space is limited. Unnecessary kit can be stored at the start/finish area at your own risk.

Opens at 11:45am Note: No assistance is permitted in the transition area. Please only enter the transition area where instructed to do so when racking your bike before your start as other competitors will already be racing and we do not want any chips being triggered by mistake. Pre Event Once you have registered, head to transition with your bike and bike helmet and show your race number to the marshals. They will check your helmet strap and handlebar end plugs before you are allowed to rack your bike in the designated area for your wave (wave number sent out by email at least 3 days prior to the event). Please rack your bike by looping the saddle over the horizontal bar, one bike facing left, next right, etc. and store your kit to the left of your bike (when looking at the rack). Remember, no boxes allowed in transition. A small soft backed backpack is fine but keep your kit to a minimum as space is at a premium. Unnecessary kit can be stored at the bag drop at registration. Don’t forget to stick your number label to the front of your head tube (part of event pack collected at registration). To pick up your bike post event, marshals will check that the sticker on your bike matches your race number. No match, no bike.

Handy Tips Organise When setting up transition, only take the essentials in with you. This will help you get in and out of transition quicker with minimal fuss and stress! Visualise Transition can often be a busy and sometimes confusing place on event day. Make sure you know your run entry, bike out & in and run out routes to help gain those precious seconds! Familiarise yourself with the one-way system and look out for something visual near your bike slot, making it easy to spot when you are running into transition. Prepare Make sure your bike is set up in the right gear. You don’t want to be left struggling in the first few meters of the event. Transition Zone Checklists Bike out • Is your bike number clearly visible on your back? • Have you put on your helmet before unracking

TRANSITION ZONE

TIP

MICRO HARE






Participants will be placed in starting waves of 10, setting off in 30sec intervals. Having started with a 2-loop, multi-terrain run around the event village, our youngest athletes pick up their bikes from their waiting parents and marshals in a dedicated transition zone. The children follow a flat, fully tarmacked bike course on closed roads. After cycling two laps, participants drop off their bikes in transition and head out for the final run to the finish. Rules • Helmets must be worn for all disciplines • We ask that excited parents do not accompany

their children around the course as this could cause confusion/danger on the route. However, parents are encouraged to help their children in transition, count laps on the course and assist all kids in distress along the route

• Please make sure that you bring appropriate clothing for all disciplines

Distances: • 8y: Lap(s) of 150m course • 9-14y: Lap(s) of 530m course

Laps: • 8y: 2 laps (Run 1), 2x laps (Run 2) • 9-10y: 2 laps (Run 1), 1x lap (Run 2) • 11-12y: 3 laps (Run 1), 1x lap (Run 2) • 13-14y: 4 laps (Run 1), 1x lap (Run 2)

Please note, it is the child’s responsibility to know the route they are required to complete. Children will be given a BLUE band after each loop to assist with lap counting, which they should wear around their wrist. The bands will then be counted once they have crossed the finish line to check they have done the appropriate number of laps.

Rules • Children who do not have the required number of

bands will be disqualified for not completing the course.

Distances: Lap(s) of 1500m Map: Interactive Bike Route Map available in the course maps section on intotri.com/event/mini-hare 8y: 1x, 9-10y: 2x, 11-12y: 4x, 13/14y: 5x Note: All age groups as of 31-Dec 2020 The Course Participants follow a multi lap course on Imerys tarmacked Haul Road. There will be marshals at hand at key points along the course; however it is the child’s responsibility to know the route. All children will need to complete the appropriate number of laps according to their age before returning to the transition zone to rack their bikes. Please note, it is the child’s responsibility to know how many laps they are required to complete and to count them. To assist with lap counting, children will be given a PINK band at the end of each lap, which they should wear around their wrist. Children MUST stop to collect these. The bands will then be counted once they have crossed the finish line to check they have done the appropriate number of laps. Rules • Helmets must be worn and fastened at all times

when in contact with your bike. • It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure the road-

worthiness of their children’s bike. • Mount and dismount at designated points and

push bike out of/into transition to your allocated slot.

• Children who do not have the required number of bands will be disqualified for not completing the course.

The hand over from run to bike and bike to run will be in the transition zone. Bike riders will need to wait for the runner to the left hand side of their racked bike.

MINI HARE: RUN 1 & 2

BIKE

RELAY TEAMS






Once the timing chip has been handed over and fastened to the cyclist’s ankle, riders can put on their helmet, fasten the straps and un-rack their bike. After completing the bike leg, the bike needs to be racked first before the timing chip can be handed over to the waiting runner. Please proceed through the finish arch, keeping the finish area clear for other participants to run in. Make sure you hand in your chip to the marshal as you collect your well deserved medal. There will be water available at the finish area. Hot and cold drinks, as well as food will be available to purchase near the finish. Presentations will be outside at the finish area at approximately 2pm with prizes awarded to the 1st to 3rd placed winners in the boys and girls competition for each age group. Age groups relate to age on 31 December of that participating year. The categories will be as follows:

8y, 9-10y, 11-12y, 13-14y

• We ask that excited parents do not accompany

their children around the course as this could cause confusion and danger on the route. Please see ‘Code of Conduct’ section for more details.

• Parents are not allowed to assist their child in any way, whether this means helping them put their trainers on or their t-shirt/vest on. Assistance will result in the disqualification of their child. Marshals will be available throughout the course to give assistance if necessary.

• Please make sure that you bring appropriate clothing for the weather.

• In case of severe weather, the event may be reduced to a swim/run.

Spectators are most welcome at intoTRI’s Cornish Tri Series. Please note that for safety and security reasons access to the transition zone is not possible. There are plenty of opportunities to watch participants on their approach to transition, the bike and run course as well as at the finish line. You will receive a chip-timing device which will be the same as your race number for the duration of the race. Competitors must wear their allocated chip on their left ankle throughout the event and ensure they hand it in to the marshal at the end of the race. Lost chips are subject to a £20 fee to replenish our stock. Live results will be available during the event where possible. We will also upload all timings within 24h of the event and email you a link to the official timing results. • Every effort will be made to clearly mark and

marshal both the cycle and run routes, but we must emphasise that it is the responsibility of the competitor to negotiate both routes correctly and safely.

• All competitors must adhere to the Triathlon Code of Conduct which is available via the following link:

• https://www.britishtriathlon.org/britain/documents/events/competition-rules/british-triathlon-competition-rules-2019.pdf

• Breaking of any British Triathlon rules may result in disqualification.
