Paddle Section/Boats & Gear:
All 2 person and 4 person teams will be required to use the kayaks provided by the event. We DO NOT provide life vests or paddles. Additionally, teams will not be permitted to make alterations to the kayaks.

Solo athletes are required to bring their own kayak of choice for the race.

Getting Points for the Checkpoint Tracker National Series: 1) YOU MUST HAVE CREATED A CHECKPOINT TRACKER TEAM, 2) YOU MUST HAVE ADDED OUR RACE TO YOUR TEAM SCHEDULE, 3) AND YOU MUST HAVE A COMPLETE SQUAD OF RACERS ADDED TO YOUR TEAM. 4) ONLY "CONFIRMED" TEAMS ARE ELIBIBLE FOR POINTS. CHECK HERE

IF ALL OF THIS IS NOT DONE PRIOR TO THE START OF THE RACE YOU WILL NOT GET CHECKPOINT TRACKER SERIES POINTS.

Hydration for the Race:

About 2/3 of the course is unsupported with no access to your gear box at a transition area, and there is no water available during this stretch. You MUST be sure to carry enough water to get through this distance of the course. 100oz is minimum as per the gear list. However, if it is a hot day this most likely will not be enough water. Please come prepared for this.

Athlete To Do List:

  1. Team Makeup - Please go to the website and check your team entry. If you need to change categories, add or change teammates or change your team name, these changes must be made by March 20th. Go to the website and click on the "Teams-Results" button to find the team listings.
  2. Required Forms - Each team/participant must bring the completed forms to racer check-in; Liability Waiver, and the Ropes Waiver. Please have these forms completed before you go through the check-in line. These forms can be accessed by clicking on the "Forms & Certifications" button from the website.
  3. Unsupported/Gear Drop - This is an unsupported race, meaning no support crews are required or allowed. There will be one mandatory gear drop prior to the start of the race. Our staff will watch over your gear until you pick it up after the race. More information will be provided to you at Racer Check-in regarding the gear drop location and logistics. 
  4. Gear List - Make sure you print a copy of the required gear list from the website. All items on this list are required to compete in the event.
  5. Headlamps - Slower teams may find themselves finishing the race in the dark. It is strongly recommended that each racer carry a headlamp in the event that you finish after dark.
