Jordanelle Reservoir offers triathletes one of the premier racing locations in Utah.  The race kicks off at the Rock Cliff area boat ramp which has been recently paved and guarantees one of the fastest transitions from swim to bike.  The bike route takes athletes through Francis and Woodland and is a fast course with a few false flats and a great down-hill stretch.  The run route is mostly flat with the vast majority located in the beautiful Rock Cliff camping area providing a great opportunity for spectators to view racers and congregate at  the finish line to cheer on the athletes.  US Trisports is excited to offer athletes a chance to race at this great venue twice each year.

Standard USA Triathlon rules apply for packet pickup.  All athletes must have a photo ID presented at registration.  You will not be allowed to pick up your packet without a photo ID.  USA Triathlon members must present your current USAT membership card at the time of packet pickup.  Failure to bring your card will result in a single day $10 membership fee.  Anyone racing who is not a USAT member will be required to pay the $10 single day membership fee.  No exceptions. All members of relay teams must be present at packet pickup according to USAT rules.  We will not be able to make exceptions. In order to ensure compliance with USAT rules and regulations, you may not pick up a packet or timing chip for another person. 

Packets will include a swim cap, bike number, bib number, course maps, t-shirt and other products from the race sponsors.

Body Marking and Timing Chip Pickup:

Between 6:00am and 8:00am you will need to come to the main pavilion at Rock Cliff to have your legs and arms marked with your race number, race distance and age.  You will also be able to pick up your timing chip.  Please remember your race number so that the timing chip provider can issue you the correct timing chip.

WETSUITS:

Wetsuits are required for this race. You can rent wetsuits at Wasatch Running Center. They are $30 for the weekend (Thursday through Monday is considered the weekend).  They rent Zoot Fuzion suits both full sleeve and short sleeve.  You can also make arrangements for a suit at PowerTri at packet pickup.

LODGING /  CAMPING:

Jordanelle State Park and the Rock Cliff Recreation area are within 45 minutes of Salt Lake City.  You can find lodging there, in Park City, or Heber.  If you would like to camp out the night before, please email Greg or Aly and we will make arrangements with you.  The camping is normally $15, however we will only be charging $10 for a camping permit.  If you are bringing a volunteer for the race, camping is FREE.  Please contact Greg or Aly (aly@ustrisports.com / or greg@ustrisports.com) to make arrangements for camping.

PARKING: (this is in red because it is important!)

There is no parking at the Rock Cliff Recreation area.  The park simply does not have adequate parking for the large number of athletes and spectators participating in this event.  You will need to proceed to the Town of Francis and park in the two lots that we have designated.  Athletes will need to park and ride their bikes down into the Rock Cliff Recreation area.  It will be important to pack your wetsuit, and gear into a backpack that you can take down with you.  Spectators will be able to enter the park by using the buses that will stop at the two parking sites.  Spectators will use the buses to come and go from the race.  Athletes will need to ride back up to Francis after the race.  You can have your friends and family take back any gear that you want.  However, no bikes are allowed on the buses.

Shuttle Schedule and Rules:

The buses will run starting at 6am. The last bus will leave the parking areas at 9am. They will not restart until 12:30pm and will leave from the Rock Cliff campground area, making a continuous loop until 2pm. The bus company has informed us that no strollers will be allowed on the buses.  Bikes are not allowed on the buses.  Your family can take gear down to you, but we strongly recommend just putting it all in a backpack and biking down with it.  It will save you time and will guarantee that your equipment arrives before race start.

Please direct friends and family to stay to the far LEFT side of the road closest to the camping area.  That way they will not interfere with any potential official traffic coming in or out of the park. They will also not interfere with bikers who may be coming out in case of late arrivals.
