Mandatory Course Talks
Due to a variety of major changes with the 2015 Transamerica Chicago Triathlon, all Sprint, International and Triple Challenge athletes are required to attend a 30 minute presentation at the Chicago Triathlon Multisport & Fitness Expo. Participants will not be allowed to pick-up their packets until they present proof of attendance.
As a scheduling convenience, individuals can RSVP for specific dates/times using this reservation system. Confirmation eTickets can be printed and presented on-site, or can reveal their Confirmation eTicket via smart phone.
Walk-up scheduling will also be permitted, on a first-come, first-served basis (contingent upon room capacities). Athletes and spectators will be able to access the Expo floor as usual prior to, and after, attending their session. Athletes have priority. Spectators and non-athletes will not be permitted unless seats remain.
Following each Course Talk, attendees will be issued hand-stamps (or wristbands) which must be presented to Packet Pick-Up staff. Just as each participant is required to pick-up their packet in person (as per USA Triathlon requirements), each participant must also attend a Course Talk. No exceptions will be granted.
Note: SuperSprint and Kids' Tri participants do not need to attend these sessions. However, specific Course Talks will be given at the venue (at the Swim Start area) 15 minutes prior to the first wave start.
