PRE-RACE MEETINGS | SUNDAY EVENTS

There will be a pre-race meeting on Saturday June 10 at 12:45pm directly on the Domaine Saint-Bernard site for all participants in Sunday’s triathlon events.

We strongly recommend that you attend this meeting, as the pre-start briefing will be very brief and to the point.

On the morning of the start for Sunday’s events, we’ll only be giving a few brief safety instructions. There will be no course explanations or question periods just before the start.

We’ll be giving details and answering your questions in French and English only on Saturday June 10 at the on-site meeting.

Directions

Parking information

A large parking lot will be available directly on site for both participants and spectators. Domaine St-Bernard does not charge for parking, but asks that each accompanying person pay their park entrance fee.

Thank you for your understanding, every dollar brought in by this event guarantees its survival and the improvement of the services offered.

SCHEDULE

Sunday, June 11

Collecting participant race kits

Race kits will include swimming helmet, bike plate, race bib and timing chip to attach to an ankle. Tie-wraps and pins will also be provided. The coupon for the participant’s meal, included with registration, will also be in the kit directly on your race number. Do not lose this coupon to qualify for the free meal.

You can pick up your participant kit up to 1 hour before your start on the day of your event. They will be placed under the racks in the transition area at the location of your bib #. We’ll give you your bib number on the spot.

Course

All courses are available online at https://xterraquebec.com/parcours-xtt-2023/

Feed zones

Feed zones will be offered on the bike and run courses.

It will be possible for participants using their own refreshments to throw their packaging into the garbage cans at the feed zones.

It will be STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to throw packaging or any garbage on the courses outside these zones. A participant who fails to comply with these rules will be automatically disqualified.

Highlighted feed zonesd include water, electrolytes, oranges, bananas, energy bars, chips, nut mixes, Skittles and jujubes.

The others are water and electrolyte refreshments with Skittles, nuts and energy bars only.

A finish line feed zone will also be offered to participants with everything found on the courses and a few treats to boot!

Withdrawal during the race

You must report any withdrawal to the organization before leaving the site.

Make sure you inform a responsible person and not just a volunteer who may not have communication with us.

safety

First aid

The XTERRA Tremblant organization takes the health of its participants to heart. You can count on the expertise of our team of first-aid-trained volunteers to ensure your safety during the event.

In order to avoid injury during the event, here are a few tips to follow:

• • Contrary to a road triathlon, the technical level of the bike course in a cross triathlon doesn’t allow you to let go of the handlebars at any time. It’s best to plan to feed when making your transitions or wait for a rolling portion to eat or drink.
  • Be patient for overtaking on the bike course. Avoid rushing them into areas not conducive to them. This can result in a fall and ruin your triathlon and that of another competitor.
  • Be aware that the level of technical skill varies from person to person. Politely ask for passage, giving preference to the left side of the track whenever possible. If someone asks you to pass, slow down or stop, clearing the track on the requested side without endangering yourself.
  • In the days leading up to your event, take the time to reconnoitre the course. This will enable you to recognize the more technical areas and know how to approach them safely!

If you or another participant should become unwell or injured:

• • Ask the first volunteer/first-aid personnel you see or an athlete near you quickly so that they can notify medical personnel of your condition. If he or she must stay with you, send another athlete to inform the organization so that first aid can come and take care of you.
  • Place yourself in a safe zone as much as possible to avoid causing a collision.
  • Depending on your condition, medical staff will make sure you are taken care of and escorted back to the medical tent.

Happy racing to all and have fun!

important information

The pre-race briefing is strongly recommended. The information covered during this briefing is considered essential to your participation. Any other general information that does not have a direct impact on safety or the smooth running of your event is presented in this document. Please read all sections carefully before arriving at the site. Happy reading and arrive at the briefing ready to ask your questions.

Bicycle passing procedure

It is strongly recommended to ride on the right side of the trails at all times and always make your passes on the left.

• • When you want to make an overtake, announce your intention to the rider
    in front of you and ask for passage by saying “To the left”
  • When a faster rider asks you for passage, you are obliged to
    squeeze to the right as soon as possible to let him/her pass
  • Always execute your maneuvers safely for you and the other participant.
  • The golden rule: be courteous and polite, you’re not in the running to win the Tour de
    France 😉

Overtaking procedure on foot

Ask for the right of way or give way in a courteous and safe manner. The instructions for overtaking on bike can very well apply on foot too.

Training on the courses

The bike and run courses for the standard and sprint triathlon and duathlon are now marked out and accessible.

To reconnoitre the courses, you can come to the Domaine St-Bernard gatehouse every day between now and August 28 and take advantage of the facilities. The cost of entry is $5 per day, and you can use the course maps on the event website indicating certain points to look out for during your initial reconnaissance.

Course maps are available from the event website.

Timing

The timing will be done by Sportstats. You will have a reusable chip on a velcro strap. Make sure you wear your chip on your ankle (right or left). The chip is to be collected on the morning of your event only. It must be handed in at the finish.

Results will be live on www.sportstats.ca.

VOLUNTEERS

The weekend is overloaded with beautiful events like ours and that means volunteers are more divided this year. We are still short of a few volunteers to complete our team. If you ever have any companions who are interested in helping out during the weekend, even if only for a few hours, we’d be very grateful.

If you’d like to help out or have a companion who can, it’s simple: fill in our form here.
