Friends and fans at McDonald Park will be able to cheer on teams throughout the race as they complete each loop. Parking will be limited so please car pool wherever possible.
THIS IS NOT A RELAY RACE: All team members travel the course together. In the competitive division all team members must complete every aspect of the course together.
What gear is needed for the race?
The gear requirements are relatively low. Besides general race clothing to face whatever weather presents itself on race day, teams are required to provide their own mountain bikes, bike helmets and 1 compass per team. Each team is also required to carry a cell phone for emergency contact purposes. Teams will need to be self-sufficient on the course (no outside assistance) but can refuel and re-water at Mcdonald Park as necessary. Western Canoeing & Kayaking will be supplying ALL canoes, paddles and pfd’s for the paddling leg
BIKE CHECKS ARE NO LONGER MANDATORY- but we recommend you do get your bikes checked out before the race. Are your brakes pads good, is your chain lubed, tires properly inflated?? Safety, safety, safety.
