Athlete Guide and Race Briefings: The Omaha Triathlon does not require mandatory race briefings. However, the race director and event staff are available at packet pick-up and other times/dates listed in the athlete guide.

All participants receive an “athlete guide” by email (used during registration – please check spam) and posted on this page containing the necessary information to prepare for race day approximately one week before the event date. Each participant is responsible for reviewing the information and the event schedule. This includes information on their wave start times, transition, courses, USA Triathlon rules, and other useful event information.

Packet Pickup / Registration: Each pre-registered participant must pick up their own race packet at the designated location (location and time TBA). Due to a large number of participants, requiring packet pickup prior to race day avoids and prevents many events concerns by participants. Please present proper identification at packet pickup. Unless you have previously authorized a proxy, packets may not be picked up by anyone other than the athlete.

Annual USAT members will need to show the registration staff a current membership card and a photo ID. If either the participant fails to bring a current card or does not have a current USA Triathlon Member Card, a $15 USA Triathlon fee is required. If you purchased a $15 USA Triathlon single-day membership, we should have that information at registration. Only annual memberships receive a member number from USA Triathlon.

Bike Drop-off for the Omaha Triathlon:

There is no mandatory bike drop-off on Saturday afternoon/evening. However, we recommend dropping off your bike on Saturday to avoid any capacity issues with our bike support and mechanics. Also, we can deal with any last-second issues, such as missing bar-end plugs the day before the race versus race morning. If you plan to bring your bike race in the morning, please arrive with plenty of time to place your bike into transition. Bikes must have the Race Number sticker affixed and visible on the bike and correspond with the athlete number on the bracelet. No bikes will be allowed in transition once it is closed, just prior to the start of the race.

Race Day:

Transition opens at 5:30 a.m. and closes shortly before 7:00 a.m. The race start is scheduled promptly at 7 a.m. Waves will be approximately three minutes apart. The Athlete Guide is sent by email closer to the event with any updates and changes to the official event schedule.
