ALL atheletes are required to show photo ID. NO ID, NO RACE, NO EXCEPTIONS. Every single participant must have a photo ID, this includes all relay participants. Youth athletes without an ID must be accompanied by a parent/guardian with a photo ID. Annual members are required to bring their membership card every time they compete in a USAT santioned event. If their card has been lost, they can download and print out a temporary one at www.multisport.hangastar.com

Important things to remember during packet pick-up:

1. Below is a breakdown of all membership fees for 2012:
   • Adult Annual Membership - $39
   • Adult One-day Membership - $10
   • Youth (age 17 and under) Annual Membership - $5 (this is an annual membership, one-day memberships are NOT available for youth.
2. Atheletest may only pick up their own packets. Under no circumstances may an athelete pick up a packet for another person. Regarding relays, all relay members must be present to receive the packet, or split up the relay packet for each participant.
   
   
3. If an athelete does not bring a photo ID to packet pick-up they have two options:
   • Go home to get it
   • Have someone fax them a copy of their photo ID
4. If an athelete does not bring their USAT membership card to packet pick-up they have three options:
   • Go home to get it
   • Find internet access where a temporary card can be printed
   • Purchase a one-day membership for $10 which can later be applied to a membership renewal by submitting a receipt of purchase
5. Atheletes that need to purchase a one-day license must sign the USAT waiver if it was not included on the event registration form or process. Annual members do not have to sign a waiver at pick-up because they already signed it when they applied to become an annual member.
