Annual Turkey Triathlon

GENERAL INFORMATION The 22nd Annual Turkey Triathlon and 5K Trot, put on by Weber State Campus Recreation, includes a 5k run, 10k bike, 300yd swim, and is a reverse sprint distance to introduce participants to Triathlons. The race circles the Weber State Campus, which offers gorgeous views of the Wasatch Front as you run and bike. Entry into this fun event provides a t-shirt, a medal, a chance to get tri experience, the chance to win some sweet prizes, and a great day filled with fun! The start line and transition area for the race will be at Swenson Gym, Parking Lot A7 on the Weber State Campus. Make sure to bring a helmet to wear for the bike portion of the race, and dress in your most festive turkey attire! *Please note that this race may move indoors if there is inclement weather on race day. Full race maps can be found here! Walk-up registration will end at 8:30 am or when we reach race capacity, whichever comes first on race day. Walk-up registrants are not guaranteed a shirt or medal. RACE DAY INFORMATION Weber Cares Pantry Drive This race includes a pantry drive for the Weber Cares Pantry. Any race participant who brings in donation items will receive an extra raffle ticket for the race raffle! A list of needed items will be sent out in the pre-race email. Packet Pickup Early packet pickup will be on Thursday, November 5th, and Friday, November 6th, 9:00 am - 5:30 pm in the Campus Recreation offices. We will also have packet pickup available on race day from 8:00-8:45 am in the transition area in the A7 parking lot. If you pick up your packet early, you will still need to stop by the check-in table on race day to pick up your timing chip. We will have a separate line for this to avoid a bottleneck. Parking The A7 Parking lot will be closed for the race. You can park anywhere on campus on Saturdays, and there is a lot directly across the street that should be available. Bike Racks and Bike Drop Off For those of you participating in the biking portion of the race, the bike racks are numbered based on your bib number. Your race bibs will be provided at packet pick up. We will have a few spaces at the A7 parking lot entrance blocked off for bike drop-off. You can unload your bikes there and then move your car to a parking lot. Pre-Race Meeting We will have a pre-race meeting at 8:30 am in the transition zone, and the race will start at 9am. We will be doing a wave start for the race as follows: Wave 1: Tri Men @9am Wave 2:Tri Women and Team Tri @9:05am Wave 3: 5K and 1 mile participants @9:10am Run/Bike Course Our race course will be the same as in previous years. Don't forget that the run is one loop, and the bike is two loops. Please note there are two traffic lights on campus for the OGX bus line. You must follow all traffic laws, and stop for those lights. The bus will not stop for you if they have the right of way. Swim Course The swim course is the same as in previous years. Each lane is one way, so you will swim up one lane and down the next until you get to the stairs, hop out, go back to the starting lane and repeat. Once you've done your second loop, get out at the stairs and go through the finish line on the pool deck. Awards/Raffle Stick around after the race for our awards and raffle! Awards for the 5K Trot will start at approximately 10am, and awards for the Triathlon will start at approximately 11 am.

We will have some family friendly activities set up while you wait, including lawn games, a stretching area, and a coloring table. Please note: For awards we have some perishable items, so you must be present at the ceremony otherwise you will forfeit your award.
