  • VENUE MAP

  • Venue Control Map

  • OVERVIEW

    With the aim to remove any queues at registration, we have introduced a mandatory online check-in for athletes, which includes checks for BTF licenses. On event day, athletes will be following a one-way system to registration to pick up event packs and timing chips before proceeding to the transition zone.

  • RG1-6

    • Location: Google Pin | see map above
      Lostwithiel Rd, Bodmin PL31 1DE
    • Registration marshals are based in a gazebo in the leisure centre car park and equipped with ipads that display the athlete check-in form. The form breaks the check-in process down into 4 easy to follow steps.
    • Please follow the check-in process below with our DEMO FROM - practice makes perfect!

  • CHECK-IN PROCESS

    Step I - Load athlete details 

    • Scan the bar code on athlete's event ticket (on phone or print out) or select the ticket ID from the dropdown. Click Load Athlete Details.
      Success will be shown and Entry Details section is filled in automatically.
    • If athlete wants to drop down in distance (upgrade only possible if pre-arranged with race director), or any other details are incorrect, please record them in the Comments field

    Step II - BTF ID Check

    • Athletes have already supplied BTF details during the online check-in. This step will only show, if the athlete has NOT checked in online. Otherwise, this section is skipped automatically.
    • Check 'Name' and 'Membership No' on BTF ID match our records displayed in the form. Use BTF ID (overwrite) field if you find a typo in Membership No.
    • Check BTF ID has not expired.
    • If name on BTF ID does not match our records or membership expired, payment of day-license is required. Adults £6, junior (under 20y) £1

    Step III - Body Marking

    • Athletes were asked to self-mark at home. If body marking missing, instruct athlete to use marker provided at registration to write their race number on their left hand, transition number on inside of their right hand. Disinfect marker after use. Tick Yes once bodymarking completed.

    Step IV - Event Packs

    • Hand out event pack corresponding to athlete's race number shown on form. Packs contain:
    • 2x race numbers (1x run, 1x bike). Run numbers must be worn on front of shirt, bike number on back. When using race belt, numbers have to be fixed back to back
    • A white, numbered sticker that needs to be fixed to the bike on front of head tube. To pick up bikes post event, transition zone marshals will check that sticker matches race number. No match, no bike.

    Submit Entry Form 

    • Submit form and send athletes to next desk to pick up their timing chips. Adult participants in the Super Sprint race also need to pick up a helmet sticker, allowing marshals to route them accordingly on the bike course.
    • Timing chips must be worn around left ankle at all times. Relay teams hand over chip in transition at bike racking slot.

Athletes drop their kit (optional) next to their shoe drop number and wait there for their swim. The lower the shoe drop number, the earlier the swim start.
