The Tiburon Triathlon will take place on 28 August 2016—the last Sunday in August.  Check-in begins at 6:30 a.m.  The course is a half mile swim (not measured, so it varies from year to year), a nine mile bike, and a two mile run.  After the swim, you need to run about two blocks from the swim area to the bike transition.  We close the course at 9:30 a.m., or so.

 

Participants should arrive at 6:30 a.m. at Belvedere Community Park.  Be sure to bring your helmet.  When you arrive, rack your bike or lay it on the lawn to the north or far right end of the park.  At check-in, we will give you a printed number, a timing chip, and a color-coded swim cap.  Have your limbs numbered.  After you finish, present your number to pick up T-shirt.  Be sure to turn in your timing chip.

 

 

 

From San Francisco or the Peninsula, take Hwy. 101 north from the Golden Gate Bridge about five miles to Tiburon Blvd.  From the East Bay, take the first exit after the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge onto to Sir Francis Drake Blvd. which will lead you around scenic San Quentin Prison to Hwy. 101 south toward Mill Valley and Tiburon Blvd.  Take Tiburon Blvd. east about three miles to downtown Tiburon.  We have arranged for the parking lots to open early.  There is some street parking. 

 

Please do not park in Belvedere.  We impose enough on them without clogging up their streets with a bunch of cars.

 

With your bike and other gear, walk about three blocks west on Beach Road to Belvedere Community Park.  You can’t miss it.

 

 

Relays can have two or four people. The chip hand-off between team members takes place in the bike transition area on the pavement.  A person cannot do a relay and then continue as an individual participant.  It messes up our timing.  The relay fee includes two or three people.  When you present the large number after the finish, we will give you three T-shirts.  We have had relay swimmers who could not run back to the Park, in that case, you can substitute a pinch runner. That is the only time a team may have four people. We put all relays in the second wave so that they can keep a wary eye on each other.
