Delegate Pick-Up

‍

Delegate Pick-Up Rules

‍
Delegates may choose to collect all race kits for a specific athlete group — Elite, Age Group, or Adaptive — but must pick up for the entire group or none at all.

‍

Example:

If you choose to collect for the Age Group athletes in your team, you must pick up all Age Group kits for your team — not just a few selected athletes.

This policy helps us streamline distribution and avoid confusion at registration. Please plan accordingly and communicate clearly with your team.

If you are picking up race kits on behalf of other athletes, please complete this form. A valid ID must also be shown at the registration desk.

It is not mandatory to complete the certification but we recommend all athletes to do it.
