In case of an emergency please write any medical conditions you have on the back of your race number
and put a cross on the front. Do not fold the numbers and pin them in each corner.
If you are wearing a number belt, use both numbers back to back as this gives it more weight and helps
prevent the number from flapping around.

purposes.

passes through the event field,

spaces and that you have all the right documentation. During the race you have the swim starters, lap
