Should I arrive on Saturday?
Yes, in terms of registration, you must arrive in Lyon Saturday morning at the latest as athletes' registration closes at 13:00 (no exceptions!), bags and bike check-in take place in the afternoon.

Can another athlete get my athletes package/ check-in my bike ?
Coming in person is much better but if you really can't, let a friend help you out.
He would need:
- A document authorizing him to do the bike check-in or registration on your behalf
- This waiver signed by you
- Your triathlon license
- In case you don't have a yearly license, he'll purchase a daily one on spot and will also need to have your recent medical certificate (less than 6 months old)
Can I make additional modifications in personal information of my registration form (add my license number, motto, change my address)?
Yes, you can make all these changes by yourself.
Go to the registration page as if you wanted to register for the event, type in your email address and click on View or Change Your Existing Registration. Here you will be able to make any modifications with the exception of changing your name or surname. For security reasons, please contact us if you wish to make changes in your name.
