COME HOME
TO THE
CINCINNATI TRIATHLON!
Everybody is from Cincinnati. Whether you grew up in Cincinnati, have family here or make Cincinnati your home, this is your home town. Come home to Cincinnati for the Cincinnati Triathlon on July 22, 2012.
Join athletes from Ohio, Kentucky and 30 other states on what has been called one of the most spectacular courses in all of triathlon.
Start with a downhill swim in the Ohio River. Downhill? The Cincinnati Triathlon swim is point to point, starting upstream and going with the current for 1350 meters. The entire swim is within 50 meters of the Ohio shoreline. Want a shorter swim? The sprint swim is also downhill, a mere 400 meters and is within 10 meters of the Serpentine Wall (your family and friends can walk along the wall with you as you swim - how much fun is that?).
After the swim is one of triathlon's most unusual bike courses. How is that? NO CARS! Our course is completely closed to traffic, including all six lanes of Columbia Parkway. The bike course has spectacular views of the Ohio River, the Kentucky shoreline and the downtown shoreline.
Finally the run. Breath a sigh of relief as most of the Cincinnati Triathlon's run is on shaded paths along the banks of the Ohio River in Friendship Park. Even more fun is a run across the Purple People Bridge, Cincinnati's world famous pedestrian bridge spanning the Ohio River.
Swim in, bike along and run over the Ohio River in Downtown Cincinnati Ohio at the Cincinnati Triathlon on July 22, 2012.

No Race Day registration (except for the Great Ohio River Swim on July 21).
All relay members must come to registration for packet pick up. We cannot release the race number to the relay until all relay members have personally checked in. Relay members do not have to come at the same time. The race number will be released to the last relay member checking in.

If you are annual member of USA Triathlon then you must bring your annual membership card and photo ID to registration. We cannot make exceptions to this rule. Please do not ask us to do so.
If you are not an annual member then USAT charges a $12 one day fee and requires you to sign a waiver. This fee is paid as part of your registration process. If you signed up via active.com then you will have signed the waiver online. If you mailed the entry in then you will need to sign a waiver at registration.
USA TRIATHLON
USA TRIATHLON (USAT) is the national governing body of the sport of triathlon. They provide the insurance for the event. We therefore have to abide by their registration procedures and competitive rules.
If you are an annual member you must bring your valid membership card as well as a photo ID to pick up your packet. This is required by USAT and we cannot make exceptions.
We follow USAT competitive rules and there will be USAT officials on the course. Please see www.usatriathlon.org for a comprehensive listing of competitive rules.

REFUND POLICY
We understand that plans can change. Unfortunately we are not able to give out any refund, for any reason. We will not transfer your entry to another race nor roll it over to the following year. However, with races selling out we do not want have people enter in January and then be stuck with an entry they cannot use. Therefore if you notify us at any time prior June 1 we will refund 75% of your entry fee, less any charges by active.com.
If you wish to switch between sprint and Oly, or vice versa, you may do so at any time prior to July 18 (paying the difference in entry fee where applicable). Just notify us by email and we will make the change.

We need to order t-shirts 10 days before the event. All
athletes will be guaranteed a t-shirt in the size recorded on

date may not receive a shirt.
