VIRTUAL RACE

Can't come to the race?

We have a race for you, too: Luck of the Irish is going VIRTUAL!

A virtual triathlon (or RBR) is a race that can be completed at any location. You can walk, use the treadmill, run outside or participate in another race. You can ride on a trainer or cycle outside. You can swim in a pool, a lake or the sea! You can run your race at your pace anywhere! This is a great way for the rookie athlete to build up confidence to show up for the real thing!

Virtual races are a great way to stay fit, motivated, have the sense of participating and get a great t-shirt and medal!

You can complete the required distance in each discipline during the week coming up to the actual race, in your pace, in your environment.

You can send us your stats at virtual@playtri.com You can send the evidence of completing the race distances to virtual@playtri.com but it is not required. You can send a screenshot from an app, your watch, your laptop or even a photo of your treadmill results for your runs. You can use MayMyRun / MapMyRide, Strava, Garmin or any other digital fitness app. Submitting evidence of your swim distance is harder, unless you have a swim compatible device. At the end of the day, if you don't do it, you would only be lying to yourself and you would not be able to wear a cool t-shirt with a triathlon logo!

Your t-shirt and finisher medal will be mailed to you the week after the race. Have fun out there!

USAT

Every participant must show photo ID and proof either of USAT annual membership, or purchase of USAT one day pass. If one of these is not provided at packet pickup, the participant will be required to purchase a one day pass or an annual membership in order to pick up his or her packet, regardless of whether or not he or she already has a membership. ($15 for adult one day, $50 for annual membership, and $10 for youth annual membership). Please click here for the Most Commonly Violated USAT rules.

Relays

COMPETE AS A RELAY TEAM! Relay = team of 2 or 3 participants. All Relay Team Members must check in at packet pickup individually and pick up their race number (though team members do not all have to come at the same time). All team members must have their own USAT membership (whether annual or one day).

All 2 or 3 members of a relay team will share one race number and one timing chip. Timing chip is to be handed off to the next member at the bike racked in the transition area. As the swimmer arrives at the bike, he or she will give the chip to the cyclist. As the cyclist completes the bike course and arrives at the bike, he or she will hand off the timing chip to the runner. Bicycle must be placed on the bike rack while chip exchanges take place.

Fees listed are per person. To register a relay team, the first person (captain) will register him or her self and name the team. Other members of the team will join the team name.

Virtual Triathlon & Run-Bike-Run

Can't come to the race but want to participate, get a t-shirt and a finisher medal?

Want to try a tri but you're really shy to show up?

We have a race for you, VIRTUAL RACE!

A virtual triathlon is a race that can be completed at any location. You can walk, use the treadmill, run outside or participate in another race. You can ride on a trainer or cycle outside. You can swim in a pool, a lake or the sea! You can run your race at your pace anywhere! This is a great way for the rookie athlete to build up confidence to show up for the real thing!

Virtual races are a great way to stay fit, motivated, have the sense of participating and get a great t-shirt and medal!

You can complete the required distance in each discipline during the week coming up to the actual race, in your pace, in your environment.

You can send us your stats at virtual@playtri.com You can send the evidence of completing the race distances to virtual@playtri.com but it is not required. You can send a screenshot from an app, your watch, your laptop or even a photo of your treadmill results for your runs. You can use MayMyRun / MapMyRide, Strava, Garmin or any other digital fitness app. Submitting evidence of your swim distance is harder, unless you have a swim compatible device so you will we believe you did it. At the end of the day, if you don't do it, you would only be lying to yourself and you would not be able to wear a cool t-shirt with a triathlon logo!

Your t-shirt and finisher medal will be mailed to you the week after the race. Have fun out there!

With a USA Triathlon membership, athletes join a community that works together to grow, inspire and support each other and the multisport community at large. All of USA Triathlon’s membership fees are returned to the local racing community in the form of support, insurance coverage and more.

USAT “RACE AGE” POLICY

An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec. 31 of the current race year. The age he/she is on 12/31 will determine his/her racing age group. If an athlete is due to "age-up" into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete's birthday.

This action aligns regular U.S. age group racing with the method used by USA Triathlon for its National Rankings Program and its Grand Prix Series.

Virtual Triathlon & Run-Bike-Run

Can't come to the race but want to participate, get a t-shirt and a finisher medal?

Want to try a tri but you're really shy to show up?

We have a race for you, VIRTUAL RACE!

A virtual triathlon is a race that can be completed at any location. You can walk, use the treadmill, run outside or participate in another race. You can ride on a trainer or cycle outside. You can swim in a pool, a lake or the sea! You can run your race at your pace anywhere! This is a great way for the rookie athlete to build up confidence to show up for the real thing!

Virtual races are a great way to stay fit, motivated, have the sense of participating and get a great t-shirt and medal!

You can complete the required distance in each discipline during the week coming up to the actual race, in your pace, in your environment.

You can send us your stats at virtual@playtri.com You can send the evidence of completing the race distances to virtual@playtri.com but it is not required. You can send a screenshot from an app, your watch, your laptop or even a photo of your treadmill results for your runs. You can use MayMyRun / MapMyRide, Strava, Garmin or any other digital fitness app. Submitting evidence of your swim distance is harder, unless you have a swim compatible device so you will we believe you did it. At the end of the day, if you don't do it, you would only be lying to yourself and you would not be able to wear a cool t-shirt with a triathlon logo!

Your t-shirt and finisher medal will be mailed to you the week after the race. Have fun out there!

This action aligns regular U.S. age group racing with the method used by USA Triathlon for its National Rankings Program and its Grand Prix Series.

Transition Area

When can I bring my bike to the transition?

When the Transition Area opens, you may rack your bike and place other race gear. Visit tab HOW TO RACK YOUR BIKE for details on racking your bike.

Only participants and event staff are allowed in the transition area. Please advise your family and friends that they will need to remain outside of the transition area.

When can I check my bike out of transition?

Transition opens for bike checkout when the final athlete has entered transition from the bike course and then left transition for the run course. You may not remove your bike before this time. Transition Coordinators will monitor the situation.

This protocol exists to ensure a fair and safe transition for all athletes and your cooperation is appreciated.

ABOUT USA TRIATHLON

Why is USAT one-day license required? Learn here what USAT membership provides.

USA Triathlon is the national governing body for the multisport disciplines of triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon and winter triathlon in the United States. USA Triathlon is a member federation of the U.S. Olympic Committee and the International Triathlon Union. Its headquarters are in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

With a USA Triathlon membership, athletes join a community that works together to grow, inspire and support each other and the multisport community at large. All of USA Triathlon’s membership fees are returned to the local racing community in the form of support, insurance coverage and more.

One-Day License If you are not an annual member, you must purchase a one-day license to participate in a USA Triathlon sanctioned event. A one-day license also provides the athlete participant accident medical coverage while they are participating in a USA Triathlon Sanctioned Event. Cost: $15 per event.

One-Day Licenses are purchased for a specific race, are transferable, are non-refundable, and are NOT sold directly through USA Triathlon (as they are race specific).

Our registration system will allow the purchase of a One-Day License while registering for this race.

Relays

COMPETE AS A RELAY TEAM! Relay = team of 2 or 3 participants. All team members must have their own USAT membership (whether annual or one day).

All 2 or 3 members of a relay team will share one race number and one timing chip. Timing chip is to be handed off to the next member at the bike racked in the transition area. As the swimmer arrives at the bike, he or she will give the chip to the cyclist. As the cyclist completes the bike course and arrives at the bike, he or she will hand off the timing chip to the runner. Bicycle must be placed on the bike rack while chip exchanges take place.

Fees listed are per person. To register a relay team, the first person (captain) will register him or her self and name the team. Other members of the team will join the team name. All team members must have their own USAT membership (whether annual or one day).

Refund Policy

No refunds or transfers allowed.

A considerable amount of work and planning goes into planning events like this one and we do so with the best intentions. Refunding entry fees based on changes of participants schedules is not feasible as permits and basic provisions must be ordered ahead of time. We appreciate your support and understanding, and we will continue to work hard to produce fun and safe events for your best experience.

HOW TO WEAR A TIMING CHIP

Volunteers

Please email events@playtri.com if you would like to volunteer for this event - thank you!

Without volunteers, we simply can't have races. Without volunteers, there is no one to tell athletes where to turn, hand out water, cheer everyone on - and yes - how much fun is body marking?! Volunteers get everyone pumped up and motivated. As a volunteer, you'll feel like you made a valuable contribution to the success of the race. And who knows? You could turn into a participant at the next race! Simply put, volunteers are the heart of triathlon races.

A one-day license also provides the athlete participant accident medical coverage while they are participating in a USA Triathlon Sanctioned Event. Cost: $15 per event.

One-Day Licenses are purchased for a specific race, are transferable, are non-refundable, and are NOT sold directly through USA Triathlon (as they are race specific).

Our registration system will allow the purchase of a One-Day License while registering for this race.

BENEFITING CHARITY

Empower7.org

Founded in 2018, Empower 7 is a Christian faith-based organization created for the sole purpose of empowering the lives of vulnerable, at-risk youth in North Texas. Critical to our vision and mission is to build The Empower 7 Ranch, a safe, serene group home for youth, ages 18 years and under, whose need for care and treatment cannot be met safely and effectively by their families or in a traditional foster family setting. Our goal at The Ranch is to provide residential, educational, and community services to ensure youth are prepared for adulthood, form healthy connections with society, and know God’s love and grace.

While faithfully planning for The Empower 7 Ranch, we are working to close the gaps that prevent youth from thriving. Our Blessings and Growth Programs are designed to address the immediate or emergency needs of vulnerable, at-risk youth while providing them with learning experiences to shape their future.

VIRTUAL RACE

Can't come to the race?

We have a race for you, too: Luck of the Irish is going VIRTUAL!

A virtual triathlon (or RBR) is a race that can be completed at any location. You can walk, use the treadmill, run outside or participate in another race. You can ride on a trainer or cycle outside. You can swim in a pool, a lake or the sea! You can run your race at your pace anywhere! This is a great way for the rookie athlete to build up confidence to show up for the real thing!

Virtual races are a great way to stay fit, motivated, have the sense of participating and get a great t-shirt and medal!

You can complete the required distance in each discipline during the week coming up to the actual race, in your pace, in your environment.

You can send us your stats at virtual@playtri.com You can send the evidence of completing the race distances to virtual@playtri.com but it is not required. You can send a screenshot from an app, your watch, your laptop or even a photo of your treadmill results for your runs. You can use MayMyRun / MapMyRide, Strava, Garmin or any other digital fitness app. Submitting evidence of your swim distance is harder, unless you have a swim compatible device. At the end of the day, if you don't do it, you would only be lying to yourself and you would not be able to wear a cool t-shirt with a triathlon logo!

Your t-shirt and finisher medal will be mailed to you the week after the race. Have fun out there!

About USA Triathlon

Why is USAT one-day license required? Learn here what USAT membership provides.

This event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and rules will be in effect, please familiarize yourself with those prior the event: Race Rule Video Briefing

See 8 Most Violated Rules here

Every participant must show photo ID and proof either of USAT annual membership, or purchase of USAT one day pass. If one of these is not provided at packet pickup, the participant will be required to purchase a one day pass or an annual membership in order to pick up his or her packet, regardless of whether or not he or she already has a membership. ($15 for adult one day, $50 for annual membership, and $10 for youth annual membership).

USAT “RACE AGE” POLICY

An athlete's age for any USAT sanctioned race will be his/her age as of Dec 31 of the current race year. The age he/she is on 12/31 will determine his/her racing age group. If an athlete is due to "age-up" into the next group, it will happen at the beginning of the year, not after the athlete's birthday. This action aligns regular U.S. age group racing with the method used by USA Triathlon for its National Rankings Program and its Grand Prix Series.

Athletes are welcome to: arrive at the race self body marked, (sharpies or marks-a-lot work well)
