There are a few different parking spaces adjacent to the arena. There is one in direct connection to the finish area and there are more places next to the start at Immelns Kanotcenter. There is also a third parking lot at Immelns Bygdegård which is a couple of minutes away. See arena map.

All teams must register and pick up their starter kit when they arrive. The secretariat/race office is located by a tent in the arena and can not be missed. It opens at 07:15 and everyone must have picked up their starter kits before or in connection with the Race meeting (see section).

The breakfast service opens at 7:30 and stays open until the Race Meeting at 9:00. It consists of a nutritious buffé aimed at preparing you for a physical day. 

Race meeting takes place after breakfast at, check the timetable. All teams must be represented at the Race meeting with at least one team member. Teams that miss the Race meeting will not be allowed to start the race. During the meeting, we go through the conditions of the competition day and other useful information.

The start will take place at the Race Arena by Immelns Båthamn. The race starts with a run southwards before returning and passing the Race Arena before the first swim.

Changing into your race attire can be done at the arena or at the start. There are 2 public bathrooms available 100m from the Race Arena.  

After the race there is a possibility to use the showers at Immelns Camping. 

When you are changed and ready, it is possible to store the bags in a tent in the arena that is under the supervision of officials all day. The parking lots are close enough to put your bags in your cars and pick them up after you cross the finish line.

The course will be well marked with red/white plastic markers, and there’s no need for a map in order to get from start to finish. The map provided in the starter kit is to give a good overview of the course. As a rule of thumb, you should not run longer than 50 m without seeing a marker, because then you have probably run past a turn or similar. 

In addition to the plastic markers buoys, flags and banners will also help you navigate the swims.

All participants must follow the rules of the race. They are for your safety and should a team break a rule, they will be disqualified. The rules can be found at https://atobe.se/rules/.

There will be officials along the entire course guiding participants in and out of the water. They are there for you and will help you in any way they can to make sure you are both safe and have a great experience. At checkpoints (see next point) timekeeping will also take place and if you are asked to say your team number, you must present it to the official. Officials wear vests and may look something like this:
