Closed: the entry deadline was 28 September at 23:59; the federation reported a full event on 30 September.

2026-09-30 / RACE SIGNAL
01The entry deadline has passed; focus on Friday
TRICV reports the event full after registration closed on 28 September. For athletes already entered, the useful next step is reserving Friday for bib collection and equipment check-in. The Saturday morning exception needs explicit technical-delegate authorisation; it should not become the default plan for a late arrival.

02Write the actual distances on your course card
ICAN's current information lists Half as 1.9 km / 81.8 km / 21.25 km, and Short as 1.9 km / 41.3 km / 7.25 km. Those names do not describe standard 70.3 or sprint distances. Copy your own format's totals and published wave to your lap card, then confirm final instructions.

A few things to do now.
Use the race details above to finish your own travel, kit and supporter plan.
- 01
Block Friday 16 October for mandatory bib collection and equipment check-in.
- 02
Copy the wave attached to your distance, sex and age group; 08:00 is the PRO wave, not everyone's start.
- 03
Keep a note of the actual Full/Half/Short distances and the access segments shown on the map.
- 04
Confirm your chip arrangement and licence status with your registration record.
- 05
Agree a post-finish meeting point; the transition car park is a race venue, not a promised visitor parking space.
