COVID-19 Notes

With current restrictions in place we need to make some significant changes. Information will be provided prior to the event outlining all the specific details.

A few important points to note right now.

1.EVENT BRIEFING - An online video available below is available for viewing prior to the event. There will be a SIGNIFICANT change to the bike course including the turnaround at Apex park and the closed road 'Pop up area" in front of the club rooms. There will also be some changes to the run course. It is imperative you watch the video prior to the event as there will be no onsite briefing on the day.

2. The clubrooms will be closed. There will be NO member or public entry to the clubrooms. Contactless registration will take place on the reserve opposite transition. Cnr Davies and Esplanade, Altona. You will need to bring the QR code received as part of your race confirmation email. You CANNOT check in without this QR code.

3. All participants are encouraged to "get in, swim/bike/run and get out", at the conclusion of the event. Whilst this is not how we like to operate, it's imperative to minimise public gathering numbers to ensure we meet Govt COVID-19 requirements.

4. We further ask that you do not bring spectators with you. However, a parent or guardian is required to attend if a child is participating in the event. For contact tracing purposes any spectator present is requested to check in via the QR codes located around the finish/transition area.
