New photos added on the results page for Sleepy.
New cleaner Cabin fever logo will be used on the t-shirts.
Road ID will be supplying gift cards to put on the checkpoints. We are really excited to see 2010 events roll out with new sponsors and ideas.
We are proud to add Columbia Sportswear as a sponsor for our events. We will be giving out some awesome products by Columbia this year. Click on the logo to get $6 flat rate shipping.
We will be adjusting our rules to deal with a couple of issues. The contact person will be considered team captain. This person will be required to wear a numbered bib on their back and be completely visible at all times. If a team is spotted trespassing on private property or splitting up, the captain of the spotting team should report this to the finish line official within 30 minutes after the conclusion of the event. Include in the report; location, time, team number, # of members spotted violating the rules. Race officials will then meet with the team that potentially violated the rule. A decision will then be made before announcing the results of either point deduction, disqualification or even banned from participation.
Our goal is to continue to produce high quality navigation events. This is a step towards that goal as we continue to grow. We can not be on the entire course the entire time, this step will empower the racers to help us enforce our rules. We intend to strictly enforce NO TRESPASSING or shortcutting through private property (even with permission). Everyone must stay on public property at all times!! NO SPLITTING UP!! Teams must stay together (earshot and visual).
No Solos during 12/24 hour events - Why? Safety!! If one person becomes injured, you have help. It's called the buddy system, I learned this in Boy Scouts. 8, 10, 12 or 24 hours is a long time to wait for help. During Sleepy a highly qualified racer unexpectably took a spill face first into the trail. Luckily it was not severe, but it could have been. (see photo in gallery on results page).
ROGAINE's are traditionally 2, 3, 4 and 5 person teams for a duration of 12 and 24 hours.
If you have suggestions or comments, let us have 'em!! We are always looking for ways to improve.
