When To Arrive
You will need to arrive in Durango for registration between 5:00pm and 9:00pm on Friday June 13th. Check-in will be at Durango Mountain Resort (Purgatory Ski Area) in the Double Diamond Hotel. All athletes and support crews are requested to arrive together at registration.

Supported or Shuttle/Gear Drop Option: For this event you can choose to have it be supported or hire the shuttle service. We encourage you to provide your own support crew as this will limit your logistical requirements for the event. However, if you can not provide your own support crew we will be offering a shuttle/gear drop option for those teams. This service will be offered at $25.00 per person. Additional logistical information about the shuttle/gear drop will be posted to the "race updates" pages in the near future.

Accommodations: Durango Mountain Resort (Formerly Purgatory Ski area) is our host lodging provider. A 20% discount is available to registered racers. Call 1-800-982-6103 or 1-970-247-9000 and mention you are with the race to get the discount.

Tyrolean Traverse: No certification is required for the traverse. See gear requirements for the traverse.

Boat Requirements
AdventureXstream will provide the Aire Tomcat tandem for all 2 person and 4 person teams. In order to keep the paddling sections fair and equitable all teams will be required to use the boats provided. Alterations to the kayaks will not be permitted. Note: We do not provide life vests or paddles.

Solo racers are required to provide their own boat. Please secure your boat needs well in advance of the race. Solo racers can use kayaks, sit on top kayaks or inflatable kayaks. Note - oarlocks are not permitted. If you rent a kayak from an outfitter you must have the kayak and bring it with you to check-in on Friday. If you rent from us the kayak will be ready for you at the transition area during the race.

We have secured 15 Solo Aire Tomcats that solo racers can rent on a first come first served basis. We will have the kayaks ready at the transition area so that you do not have to transport a kayak for the event. Cost is $25.00. You can reserve a kayak from race update #3.
