PLEASE have ATA Membership cards* or proof of day membership & photo ID available. If you are picking up a package for another participant you will be required to show photo ID, show their ATA email proof and sign for them.

(Note: Race packages will be available race morning but to avoid line-ups and stress level, it is recommended to pick up race packages Thursday, Friday or Saturday.)

ALL PARTICIPANTS PLEASE READ:

Proof (print-out from ATA email) of Alberta Triathlon Association (ATA) membership or ATA day member ($20) must be shown at RACE PACKAGE PICK-UP to participate. If no printed proof presented when you pick-up your package, you will be charged $20 (cash or cheque made out to Leaping Dog Racing). All Youth (under 20 years of age) must have an ATA membership ($5).

Please select ATA day member link or ATA membership link.

All participants PLEASE READ THIS TOO!

You will be receiving ONE race number with your race package. Race numbers MUST be worn on the BACK during the bike and the FRONT during the run. To avoid “pinning” your number to your shirt, a race number belt (or thick elastic) will be perfect for this event to allow the race number to be visible on both the bike and the run.  All participants MUST wear a race number on the bike and run to participate.
