Team Lucky 7 Boyne City Triathlon 2018 Overview
Please join TriToFinish at the 6th annual Team Lucky 7 Boyne City Triathlon! A beautiful venue, incredible cause, and significant prize purse await you! Funds raised from this event support Team Lucky Seven, Inc. and its mission of ‘Racing to Fight Brain Disease’. In the first four years $18,000 was granted to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, for the express purpose of Neurological research only.  Funds have supported research in Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer’s and ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease).

Last year this race brought you THE largest cash prize purse in Michigan and plans are in the works to match that this year.  Watch the event website and Facebook for updates as details are confirmed.

TransitionOpens at 6:00 am and will close promptly at 7:45 am. You will be assigned a transition rack based on your bib/race numberPick up your packet to determine your assigned number and transition rack

ONLY athletes (and parents for Youth Participants) are allowed in the transition area. Once transition closes, it will remain closed to athletes until the LAST biker has exited transition. The Transition Captain may choose to begin allowing early access to a limited numbers of athletes to retrieve their gear but this will be at his/her discretion. If given access, PLEASE remain respectful of athletes who are still competing and may be entering/exiting transition. Safety is foremost, but security is important too so you must exit transition at the point deemed proper by the Transition Captain.

Please note, in an effort to keep the entire park clean for athletes and spectators, there will be a policy of ‘No Pets’ in the park during the race

REFUND AND TRANSFER POLICY

We completely understand that plans change and athletes will sometimes be unable to compete in an event they’ve signed up for.  Unfortunately, refunds will not be provided for any event unless the event is cancelled for reasons within our control.  Dangerous weather, natural disasters, and local emergencies are examples of reasons an event may be cancelled that are NOT within our control.

Should an athlete have an injury or other medical issue keeping them from competing in an event they’ve registered for, we would be happy to transfer their registration to a similar TriToFinish-owned event up to and including the same event the following season.  A doctor’s slip may be required as proof of injury or ailment.  Failure to provide proof if requested will result in non-transfer of the event.

Transferring registrations to other athletes is NOT allowed.
