17.00 – Last competitor shall enter transition area, and the bike course closes

Due to the athletes’ safety, cut-off times have to be respected. Race marshals will tell you if you did not make it in time.

Challenge Vichy is timed with Chronorace. You will receive your personal timing chip at registration. Fasten it to your left ankle with a Velcro strap before the swim, and leave it on until you finish the race. You may apply vaseline around your ankle to avoid chafing –this will not affect the chip of timing.

If you lose your chip, seek advice with the first race marshal possible. You need your chip for timing and to get your bike, blue bag and red bag from the transition area.

If you do not start, you still have to return the timing chip. This is done either in registration or at the swim start.
