Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What can we put in buckets?
A: Whatever will fit and you can close the lid.

Q: Should we put our names on the buckets?
A: Probably a good idea.

Q: What type of biking should we expect?
A: A mix of some roads (not much), paved trail, mud, and sand.  Yes, you can use whatever type of bike you want to bring – but only one bike for the entire race.

Q: Is the course clearable?
A: If you are fast enough and don’t make a lot of navigation errors.

Q: What kind of maps?
A: 1:24 and 1:50 mixed aerial and feature maps.

Q: Will we be plotting UTM coordinates?
A: Yes – you will receive coordinates for all bonus controls. Unless you are very fast, it is unlikely you will need to plot.

Because of the limitations on the number of allowed racers (50) we will supply all boats for the race.

Teams may have a support person who will have access to the racers at each transition area.
