Check-In
Athlete check-in is on Friday 31 October (9:00am - 7:00pm) & Saturday 1 November (8:00am - 4pm) in the Check-In Tent at Athlete Village, Noosa Woods.
Athlete Check-In times will be selected when you enter the event.
We need to see your Photo ID (Driver's Licence, Passport etc) to check you in and give you your race kit. While we love mates who look out for mates unfortunately you can’t check in on behalf of someone else. It’s illegal for someone else to compete under your name or for you to compete under someone else's name. This is for the safety of yourself and all competitors and it’s critical we know who is on the course at all times. Please make sure the right team members / individuals are listed on your entry - this can be changed at the Help Desk at Check-In.
In your race kit you will be issued:
- Race Bib Number (to be worn the run)
- Bike Seat Post Number Sticker
- Helmet Number Sticker
- Number tattoo (individual athletes and team runner only)
- ID Wristband (Teams will receive 3 wristbands, 1 for each team member)
- Timing Chip
- Coloured swim cap - latex
- Event Pack - containing ASICS event gear & sponsor giveaways
Please secure your ID wristband prior to leaving the check-in area on Friday or Saturday. This band will identify you as an official race competitor and must be worn at all times. The wristband is your means of access into transition over the weekend.
Clydesdale & Athena Weigh In
All Clydesdales and Athenas will be required to Check in at the Help Desk to complete their weigh in. If you do not meet the eligibility, you will be moved to your Age Group.
Hydration
Hydration is an essential part to ensure your race day is a success. PURE Electrolyte Hydration will be on course at all aid stations and contains the electrolytes sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. It is formulated to replace electrolytes, provide fuel (5% carbohydrates) and hydrate while avoiding stomach upset.
Swim Starts
All competitors will receive their swim cap in their race kit (which you collect at Athlete Check-In). Please check that your swim cap colour reflects the colour of your rolling category start group.
The Noosa Triathlon will once again feature a Rolling Category Wave Start. Athletes will seed themselves within their respective category or age group, based on their projected swim times.
Within each rolling category start there will be 4 Start Zones. You can avoid being overtaken by stronger swimmers by seeding yourself with athletes of a similar skill and ability level.
The four Start Zones are:
Zone 1 - Under 28 minutes
Zone 2 - Between 28 - 31 minutes
Zone 3 - Between 31 - 35 minutes
Zone 4 - Over 35 minutes
Please use 2024 swim starts as a guide for 2025 event. 2025 swim starts will be released approximately 2 weeks before event.
Please be aware that we are unable to change swim start category after 20th of September 2025 - please make sure to choose the correct category when registering or contact the team to change it.
Transition
Bike Racking for Individuals and Teams is Saturday 2 November (10.00am - 4:30pm).
To enter transition your bike must display your seat post sticker, and you must wear your corresponding ID wristband found in your Race Kit (which you collect at Check-In).
Your bike will be visually inspected by AusTriathlon officials. This is not a guarantee of safety. Competitors are responsible for their bikes being in safe working order. You should ensure your bike, as well as your helmet, is in safe working order before presenting to transition.
Security will be on duty Saturday night and Sunday morning. It’s a good idea to take a photo of where you’re bike is racked in transition or add a colour ribbon to your bike. The end of the racks will be numbered.
