     COMMUNICATION ON EVENT DAY

  • All volunteers are required to bring their mobile phones and keep them switched on at all times during the event to stay in touch with race control, other marshals and emergency services. You will be issued with a badge as part of your volunteer kit, which shows phone numbers for the event director and emergency services.

    Please add yourself to the volunteer WhatsApp group either in the days leading up to the event or upon check-in on event day via this LINK to make team internal communication a breeze. When you write or respond to a message in the chat, please start the sentence with your name and role, e.g 'Stacey@BM1: Is the last bike out on course yet?'. The chat will be closed 1 day after the event.

  •  MEDICAL SUPPORT

  • In case of accidents and emergencies, we have access to the first aid facilities at Gylly beach as well as a medical team with first response vehicle on site. If you witness an accident or a participant informs you of an accident, please let the event organiser know after calling the emergency services (if needed). All relevant phone numbers are printed on the back of your volunteer badge.

  •  GENERAL RULES

  • Stopping Traffic

    The senior event is run on open roads and participants need to follow the rules of the road at all times. As a marshal, you have NO authority to stop traffic. If you deem a situation to be potentially risky or harmful, stop participants until traffic has slowed down and participants can proceed safely.

  • Spectators

    Spectators are most welcome at IntoTRI’s Cornish Tri Series. For safety and security reasons spectators can NOT enter the following areas:

    • Transition zone (exception: bike drop off/pick up for the junior event at certain times for one parent only (marked at registration))
    • Swim start pen, swim in/out funnel
    • Finish line

  • Helping Athletes

    Under British Triathlon rules, participants are not allowed to receive outside help. This includes the following:

    • No pacing of athletes from parents or spectators
    • No kit can be handed over or received from parents or spectators during the event
    • No assistance can be given to get changed in transition. However, marshals are encouraged to help our youngest participants unrack their bikes. We are also operating a dedicated wetsuit zone alongside the end of the swim exit funnel, where parents can help children to get out of their wetsuits (max one parent per child).

  • OVERVIEW

    With the aim to remove any queues at registration and allow marshals to perform their role socially distanced, we have taken several measures to streamline the check-in process for athletes on event day. Akin to self-serve check-in and bag drop at airports, athletes will be following a one-way system outdoors, with distance markers in place, picking up event packs and timing chips on their way to the transition zone. 

  • RG1-6

    • Location: Google Pin | tennis courts
      Gyllyngvase Beach car park, Queen Mary Rd, Falmouth, TR11 4DP
    • Marshals will be given a list of names with athletes race numbers associated with these. Simply highlight the athlete's name and give them their race pack with their associated number.
    • 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 right hand or inside of hand. Disinfect marker after use. Tick Yes once bodymarking completed.
    • 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.

    • All athletes must present proof of their British Triathlon race licence (if they have one), or will be marked down as needing a day licence. They will have purchased a day licence in advance and this will be noted on the registration form.
    • Anyone not presenting a valid BTF licence (in date or registered with their name) or has been highlighted as not having a day licence will be required to purchase one on the day. Send them to see Ben to sort this.

  • 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 right hand or inside of 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 event participants also pick up swim hats and helmet stickers 
    • Timing chips must be worn around left ankle at all times. Relay teams hand over chip in transition at bike racking slot.
    • The colour of the swim hat and helmet sticker indicate the race distance (Olympic, Sprint, Super Sprint) and allow marshals on the swim and bike course to route participants accordingly
