Dear St. Anthony’s Triathlon Supporter,
Thank you for being part of the St. Anthony’s Triathlon weekend in St. Petersburg. We are so proud of
this event and all of the wonderful athletes, both professional and amateur, who have made plans to
participate.
This year marks the 32nd St. Anthony’s Triathlon, the 21st Meek & Mighty Triathlon and the 2nd
St. Anthony’s Sprint Distance Triathlon, which last year proved to be a great alternative for athletes
wanting to race the same course as the Olympic distance triathlon but a shorter distance.
Active.com recently selected St. Anthony’s Triathlon as one of the 12 “must-do” triathlons for 2015,
calling it “one of the best early-season triathlons in the U.S.” Once you experience the warmth and
charm of our city and the beautiful waterfront that serves as the backdrop for your race, we know you
will agree.
More than 3,500 individual athletes and 90 relay teams are expected to compete in all the races this
year. As in years past, St. Anthony’s Triathlon will feature a large and talented pro field with past St.
Anthony’s winners, Olympians and world champions vying for a portion of the more than $65,000
prize purse.
The Triathlon has seen extraordinary growth since 1984 and has become one of the premier races
in the United States. The first St. Anthony’s Triathlon started with just 600 competitors. Last year,
athletes from more than 40 states, the District of Columbia and 10 countries competed.
In January, USA Triathlon (USAT) named St. Anthony’s Triathlon as the Florida Regional
Championship event for the USAT Championship in Milwaukee on August 8.
Just as the Triathlon has grown, St. Anthony’s Hospital has seen extraordinary growth since it opened
in 1931. We have continued our legacy of providing the community with quality, compassionate care
which fuels our mission to improve the health of those in St. Petersburg.
St. Anthony’s is honored to be a part of this fast-paced and competitive weekend of athletic events.
We thank you for making this part of your competition schedule.
Yours in good health,
Michael Mikurak, MD
Chairman of the Board
St. Anthony’s Hospital

FINAL INSTRUCTIONS
Pagination to follow
ATHLETE CHECK-IN: You must furnish proof of current USAT membership or you will be required to
purchase a one-day license. You must also present a photo ID.
RELAY TEAMS: All relay team members must be present, at the same time, to pick up your packet.
Substitution of a relay team member is not permitted unless registered prior to March 31, 2015.
WRISTBAND: A wristband printed with your race number will be affixed to your wrist at Athlete
Check-In. This band will identify you as an official participant and must be worn during the entire event.
The wristband is required for medical identification purposes and allows you access to the transition
area and postrace food and beverages. You will not be allowed to remove your bicycle and gear from the
transition area following the race without your wristband affixed to your wrist. Please do not remove
your wristband until after the postrace party!
MANDATORY BIKE CHECK-IN: Mandatory bike check-in is 12–6pm, Saturday, April 25. If you do not
arrive by 6pm, you will not be allowed to check in your bike. All bicycles must be checked into the
transition area and left overnight. Bicycles will not be permitted to enter the transition area on race
morning. Sorry, no exceptions. You will have full access to your bike on race morning, but will not be
allowed to remove it from the transition area until the start of the race.
RACE DAY PARKING: For a nominal fee, race day parking is available at four downtown parking venues:
• Mahaffey Theatre – First Street and Fourth Avenue South
• Progress Energy Park – First Avenue South and First Street
• Progress Energy Garage – First Avenue South and Second Street
• Sundial – Second Street and Second Avenue North
RACE NUMBERS: There are three race numbers in your race packet that you are required to display
during the event: The adhesive bicycle frame number must be attached to your bike with the race
number clearly visible from both sides of the bike. Do not affix the number to your bike frame until after
you’re prepared to enter the transition area on Saturday. Lost bike numbers cannot be replaced! The
small adhesive helmet number must be worn on the front of your bike helmet. The run number must be
displayed during the run segment on the front of your body. Pin your run number to your shirt, swimsuit
or race belt with the four safety pins provided in your race packet.
BODY MARKING: Body marking will take place from 4:45 to 6:45am on Sunday at both entrances to the
transition area. You will not be permitted in the transition area on race day without your wristband and
your body marks. Do not apply body lotion or sunscreen until after you have been body marked. Be sure
that the volunteer who marks you with the race number printed on your wristband.
TRANSITION AREA ACCESS: The transition area will be open on race day from 4:45 to 6:45am only.
Any athlete, including Sprint and relay team members, who arrives after 6:45am will not have access to
the transition area. Only athletes who are wearing their wristbands and are body marked will be allowed
access. Any bike not properly displaying the bike frame number will be removed from the transition area
during the swim. You will not be allowed access to the transition area to reclaim your bicycle and gear
until after the last athlete has started the run (approximately noon).
RELAY TEAM TRANSITION AREA ACCESS: To reduce congestion, only the relay team cyclist will have
access to the transition area. Relay teams must pass the timing chip to their teammates in the holding
areas just outside the transition area following each segment. The relay team cyclist may secure all
personal items belonging to the swimmer and runner at the relay team’s bike rack.
TIMING CHIPS: You are required to pick up your timing chip during packet pickup. Each chip is encoded
with your specific registration data, so do not trade your chip with another athlete. The chip must be
affixed to either ankle prior to the swim start and must be worn during the entire event. Athletes are
responsible for crossing the timing mats at the end of each segment (e.g. swim finish) and for the safe
return of the chip at the finish line. Relay team members must pass the chip to their teammate after
completing their segment of the race. Crossing the timing mats as you re-enter the transition area to
reclaim your gear with your chip in place will erase your transition times. Chip owners: Please provide
race management with your chip number at Athlete Check-in.
6
SWIM CAP: The swim cap placed in your race packet must be worn during the swim. Do not trade your
swim cap with another athlete, as the caps are color-coded to assist race management in organizing you
at the swim start. YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED IF YOU START IN THE WRONG WAVE.
WETSUITS: The use of wetsuits during the swim will be allowed if the water temperature on race
morning is 78.0 degrees or less. If the water temperature exceeds 78 degrees but is less than 84
degrees, an athlete may wear a wetsuit but will be ineligible for awards and USAT national ranking
points. Additionally, athletes choosing to wear a wetsuit in water above 78 degrees will be required
to start in the last wave so that they can be scored appropriately so as to be ineligible for awards. For
Pro athletes, a water temperature of 68 degrees or lower will be wetsuit legal. A water temperature
measurement will be conducted on Saturday to forecast the likely water temperature on race day and
the likelihood of whether wetsuits will be allowed.
SWIM START: The swim starts at North Shore Beach, approximately 1/3 mile north of the transition
area. To get to North Shore Beach on race morning, walk north on North Shore Drive to Twelfth Avenue
North East. Turn right (east) into parking area and walk out toward waterfront. Participants should
proceed to North Shore Beach for the start no later than 6:30am. Be sure you start with other
competitors wearing the same color swim cap and in your correct division. Failure to wear the
official swim cap or starting in a wave other than the one you’ve been assigned will result in your
disqualification.
SWIM COURSE: Follow the orange buoys during the entire swim course. Yellow buoys mark the two
turns. Keep all buoys on your left by swimming to the right of each buoy. Athletes who cut any portion
of the swim course will be disqualified. For your safety, certified water safety personnel will be
monitoring the swim course with kayaks and rescue craft. The swim course ends at the steps leading
up the seawall in Vinoy Park. Swim cut-off will be 70 minutes from the start of the last wave.

SPECIAL NEEDS TABLE: There will be a table set up at the swim finish for the collection of your
eyeglasses, medications or other special needs items. Be sure to clearly mark all items left on the
special needs table with your name and race number.
TRANSITION AREA CONDUCT: For safety reasons, you will not be permitted to ride your bike in
or out of the transition area. You must walk or run while on the grass in the transition area. Please
watch out for other athletes as you move through the transition area and follow the instructions
of race officials and volunteers.
BIKE COURSE: Each athlete is required to wear an approved helmet during the bike segment. You must
have your helmet securely fastened on your head before you mount and dismount your bike. Drafting
and blocking are not permitted during the race. USAT officials will monitor the bike course and strictly
enforce these rules.
BIKE BOTTLE EXCHANGE: One water bottle exchange station will be located midway through the bike
course just past the golf course. Please discard all empty bike bottles and sports nutrition wrappers at
this station. This will make our cleanup efforts much easier. Discarded bottles or gear will not be
returned after the race.
BIKE COURSE: All bikes must be back in the transition area by 12:30pm or you will be disqualified.
RUN COURSE: Water stations are located at the run start and at every mile on the run course. Each
station will be stocked with water and Gatorade. You must complete the entire course and circle the
traffic cones at the run turnaround. A timing mat will be placed at the turnaround to ensure each
athlete completes the entire run course.
FINISH: The run course officially closes at 2pm. All participants still on the course at this time will be
asked to move to the sidewalk. The finish clock will remain on and times recorded until 2:30pm.
Participants who continue on their own will assume all risks and must adhere to local traffic laws.
Official individual finishers will receive a finisher’s medal.

DROPPING OUT: Please notify a race official and return your timing chip at the finish line if you drop
out of the race.
UNSPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT: Unsportsmanlike conduct or the verbal abuse of any race official
or volunteer during the race or at any time during the event weekend will result in your immediate
disqualification.
TIMING AND RESULTS: Official race results will be posted prior to the awards presentation. Please
report any discrepancy to a race official prior to the start of the awards presentation. Athletes who do
not wear the timing chip during the entire event will not be scored. Please note that the clock at the
finish line reflects the start time of the first swim wave.
MEDICAL CARE: St. Anthony’s will provide comprehensive medical care for all participants during the
event. The biggest risk to athletes during the race is the potential of heat-related injuries associated
with inadequate hydration prior to and during the event. Be sure to drink plenty of fluids throughout
race weekend.
COURSE SAFETY: Because St. Anthony’s Triathlon is conducted within an urban environment, it is
virtually impossible to keep the entire course closed to vehicular traffic. Be aware of your surroundings,
obey the instructions of the traffic control officers and volunteers and be considerate of others during
the competition.
AWARDS PARTY: The awards party begins as soon as you cross the finish line. Be sure to stick around
for live music, fruit, snacks, juice, pizza, cold Sea Dog Brewing Co. beer and Columbia Restaurant’s
famous black beans and rice and Cuban bread. The awards presentation will begin at 12pm for the
Professionals and Elite Amateurs. The general awards ceremony will follow. The top 10 finishers in each
division will be presented with a framed watercolor print depicting scenes from St. Anthony’s Triathlon.
RESULTS AND AWARDS: Race results will be posted online (SATriathlon.com) immediately following the race. If you are a top 5 finisher and cannot attend the awards presentation, we’ll mail you your
award. Simply send us your request in writing with $10 (checks payable to St. Anthony’s Triathlon) to
1200 Seventh Ave. North, St. Petersburg, Florida 33705.
2014 RACE REGISTRATION: Online registration for the 2016 St. Anthony’s Triathlon (April 25, 2016)
