This Update is for racers who do not have a support crew and will be using the Gear Drop/ Suttle Service. For this event you can choose to have it be supported or use the free gear drop/ shuttle service. We encourage you to provide your own support crew as this will limit your logistical requirements for the event. However, if you cannot provide your own support crew we will be offering a shuttle/gear drop option for those teams. This service will be offered at no charge. Shuttle Overview: (Additional Logistical Information on the shuttle service will be provided at Check-in) 1) There will be two transition areas. You will use your car for the first transition area and you will need to drop gear at the second transition area prior to the start of the race. (Additional info will be given to you at racer check-in) 2) The start and finish will be in different locations. We will transport you from the finish back to the start. You will then need to pick up your gear from the transition areas after the race. Gear Box requirements: All gear (Bikes, Paddles, Life Vests, Boxes, etc...) must be labeled with your name and team number. This can be done at racer check-in. Inexpensive Rubbermaid containers or large gear bags are recommended for gear boxes. All boxes must have a lid! Preferably, boxes will have a lid that latches. If your lid does not latch please secure it with duct tape. We recommend these boxes/bags be water proof. Please try to limit your gear box sizes and quantity to minimize congestion. All your gear must fit in your box or bag, except your Bike and Paddle can be loose. Solo Kayaks must be dropped off prior to the start as well. |
