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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Race Updates and Reminders

All last-minute updates and reminders will be posted on the Playtri DFW Facebook page. Like us so you get all the up-to-date information!

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.

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.

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.

Packet Pickup

Packet pickup procedures are regulated by USA Triathlon and the logistics of race: Please plan accordingly.

USA TRIATHLON PACKET PICKUP RULES:

Athletes may only pick up their own packets.

Under no circumstances may an athlete pick up a packet for another person. All relay team members must be present at the same time to receive the packet, or you will have to split up the relay packet for each participant.

All athletes are required to show a photo ID. NO ID, NO RACE, NO EXCEPTIONS. Every single participant, including relay participants, must have a photo ID. A youth athlete without an ID must be accompanied by a parent/guardian with a photo ID.

While late registration will be available at the packet pickup (except race day morning), please note that no cash will be accepted for new registrations, and all new registrations must be completed on your mobile device using a credit card. Registering prior to heading to the packet pickup helps keep line shorter and cuts everyone’s waiting time.

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!

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!

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!

Every person picking up a race packet must show a photo ID. If you ask someone else to pick up your packet, please make sure they have a copy of your photo ID they can present to the event staff at packet pickup.

Relays

COMPETE AS A RELAY TEAM! Do you belong to a triathlon club? Or have a group of friends or family that like to do triathlons? Encourage your club or friends & family to participate as a relay team! To create a relay team the first team member to register, after choosing the relay option (Triathlon or Run/Bike/Run), will select “Create New Team”, during the registration process, and name the team. Then share the Team Name with your group. This Team Member will pay the Relay Entry Fee. Members of your group can then choose the relay option, then select “Join Existing Team”, type in the team name, and register under that Team Name. When every Team Member registers they will enter their USAT Membership Number or purchase a One Day License. Team members can be male & female with a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 3. You all will decide who participates in which portion of the race (Swim, Bike, Run).

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.

** If you are part of a relay team, you will share a timing chip with your teammates. If you do not live in the same household, please bring sanitizing wipes or other tool to sanitize the chip when you receive or hand it out. You and your teammates are responsible for this exchange.

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!

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!
