What To Do Race Day:
If you have not registered, and you are an individual competitor, or you need to make changes to your team line-up, you must be at The Chicken Box at 9:00 am on Sunday, June 1st. All others should arrive at The Chicken Box no later than 10:00 am. We will begin bringing your paddleboards and bikes from The Chicken Box to their starting points beginning at 9:00 am.

PLEASE make every effort to pick up and place any trash in a proper receptacle. Help to keep the island clean, so we are able to continue this race in future years.

Specific Information for Teams:

• The start time for Team participants will be 12:15, individuals will start at 12:10.
• Transportation for team members to the start of their leg will be provided from The Chicken Box prior to the start of the race. We will not be responsible for those team members who have missed their rides. Rides will begin leaving at 10:30 am.
• You are welcome to use your own transportation for your teams
• If you have people doing multiple legs on your team, we recommend that you do consecutive legs (i.e.: do legs 1 and 2, don't do legs 1 and 3). We DO NOT provide transportation and are not responsible for getting a team member from the end of one leg to the start of another. If you do choose to have a team member do 2 non-consecutive legs, please be aware that you are responsible for your own transportation.

Specific Information for Individuals:
• There will be clearly marked boxes at The Chicken Box for items you .needed for each leg.We will deliver these items to the start of each leg.
• You will be given five (5) Tyvek numbers and a bathing cap with your number. Please make sure your number is clearly visible for each leg of the relay. Permanent markers will be available at the starting line in the morning.
• Package your items for each leg clearly so it will be easy for you and/or volunteers to find at the transition of each leg.
• At the end of the race, all items left at the transition points of each leg will be transported back to The Chicken Box. To find your things at the end of the race, look for the box marked as the start of the next leg. (i.e. your beach run stuff will be marked as the swim leg box). However, we are not responsible for lost or damaged items.

Some Important Details and Helpful Hints About Each Leg:

The Start:
• We will have a staggered start to alleviate some of the bottlenecking that occurred in previous starts at the end of the first leg.
• Individuals will start at 12:10.
• Team participants will start at 12:15 pm.
• The race will begin on the corner of The Jetties on Bathing Beach Road. Buses will be transporting runners to the first leg. Buses will begin shuttling runners at 10:30 am.
• All participants will be timed using a computer chip system.

Leg 1 - Short Run (2.9 miles/4.83 km):
• Again, the start time for individuals is 12:10 and team participants is 12:15 pm.
• This year, the race will start at The Jetties, Bathing Beach Road. Transportation from The Chicken Box to The Jetties will be provided.
• Your time will be taken as you cross over the timing pad at the end of the pavement on Monomoy Road. You will then be funneled into a chute where you will continue single file to the beach where you will either pass your timing chip to your teammate (team) or find your board to start the paddle leg (individual).

Leg 2 - Paddle (.9 mile/1.4 km):
• We recommend arranging a board rental off-island or before you arrive to Nantucket. In the past, participants have had trouble getting boards on-island.
• Everyone should mark his or her boards clearly. There will be about 100 boards transported to the beach at Monomoy; you will want yours to be easily recognizable.
• The landing spot on Coatue will be determined by the Nantucket Conservation Foundation because of nesting of the Piping Plovers. The place where you will end the paddle leg and begin the beach run will be clearly marked.
• For boards, we recommend a windsurfing board or a surfboard that does not sink with weight and has a fin.

Leg 3 - Beach Run (3.5 miles/5.64 km):
• You will be running with 20 lbs of sand on your back in a pack.
• We will provide the sand bags.
• You will need to provide your own pack. Volunteers will stuff the packs on Coatue.
• Please stay away from any marked off areas; you will be running on Conservation Land.

Leg 4 - Swim/Run (.5 mile/.81 km and .75 mile/1.21 km):
• Swimmers are required to wear the provided bathing cap for safety reasons, AND must write their number in a visible place where the timers will be able to see it. (Permanent markers will be provided on Sunday morning).
• Swimmers should also keep in mind that there is a .75-mile run from the beach to the bikes. The dirt path is fairly hard-packed with some pebbles and can be hard on bare feet. We recommend that you bring some footwear to have at the beach at Pocomo or check the surface prior to the race to see if your feet can handle the surface.
• Orange buoys mark the route from Coatue to Pocomo. There will be boats and kayaks monitoring the course.

Leg 5 - Bike (19 miles/30.58 km):
• The bike race goes through some tight corners and intersections. We will have police at major points and volunteers directing traffic through these tight areas. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY we do ask that you are alert and that you keep your head up on the small streets, especially in Siasconset, The Rotary, and the intersection at the High School.
• Every biker is required to wear a helmet.

Leg 6 - Long Run (6.5 miles/10.46 km):
Last leg - follow the arrows all the way to the finish line.
