Graniteman Specific FAQs

How should I register for the race?

Find the registration link on the home page of the website, click it, and follow the instructions.  We do not take paper registrations, so please register online.

What time does the transition area open?

Usually the transition area opens about an hour and a half to two hours prior to the race.  Just make sure that you leave yourself enough time to get to the race, park, pick up your packet, rack your bike, warm up, and use the restroom.

Is there medical staff on site?

Yes, every Graniteman event has first responders on standby as well as a minimum of an athletic trainer to assist with injuries, heat related complications, and any other medical related needs that arise.

Do I have to be present for awards and door prizes?

Yes.  We will not pay for shipping any awards, door prizes, or promo items that are not claimed at the race.


Is there bike support at the race?

Yes, if you have trouble before or during the race, Revolution Cycle and Ski will be there on site to help.  If you have trouble during the race, a support vehicle will be available to pick you up if you request, but once you get help, you are out of the race.

How many people will be in my wave and how many minutes are there between waves?

There are generally between 40 and 60 people in each wave depending on the size of the race and how many people are registered in each age group.  We try and structure waves to include as much of each age group as possible.  There are 3 minutes between each wave.
