ACCOMMODATIONS:
Is there an official Race Hotel? Not this year. However, Grapevine has a lot of great hotels to meet every budget:  https://www.grapevinetexasusa.com/  
Is there a bag check or other place where I can put my things? We don't provide a spot for you to drop your stuff (unless you buy the Table & Chair rental add-on for $30) but you are welcome to make your own home base - people bring tables, chairs, tents, canopies, etc. Some just use their cars, which can be parked along the outside of the course.
What about the Cantina, the Courtesy Tent or one of the other race tents? We ask that you not leave your things in the Cantina, Registration or Medical tents. These tents can get pretty crowded, drinks and soups get spilled, people trip on other people's things, etc. Not good. If there is an unsold spot in the Courtesy tent, we may offer that space for general use, especially in the event of inclement weather. However, we are not responsible for any items stored there.
Where and when can I set up my tent or canopy? Personal tents and shelters can be set up anywhere on the inside or outside of the loop, starting at 4PM on Friday. They should be removed by 3PM on Sunday.

WEATHER:
What's the weather like? The average High temperature for this weekend is 62*, and the average Low temperature is 41*, but the weather in December in Texas can be unpredictable: hot, cold, sunny, overcast, still, windy, and sometimes all of those within 24 hours. Because of the proximity of the lake, the course usually has a breeze and will feel cooler than the forecast indicates, especially at night. We recommend that you pack for all possibilities, and look for weather updates in the final pre-race email.
Under what circumstances might the race be cancelled? The race could be cancelled due to a severe weather event that causes dangerous conditions, or at the request of local authorities
