If you are unable to pick up your packet during the above times, we will have pick up available the morning of the race from 7-9 at the showboat park pavilion. Please keep in mind you will need to pick up your packet, apply your number stickers to your equipment, drop off your kayak, and come back to showboat park for the start of the race. We HIGHLY recommend picking up your packet before the morning of the race if possible to reduce traffic.
WAIVER: Please print and bring a signed waiver to packet pick up. Extras will be available at packet pick up locations. EVERYONE participating MUST sign a waiver to be able to race!
3…Morning of race:
Watercraft drop off will be from 7-9am on race day. To ensure this part goes smoothly please read the following carefully: please make sure all your kayak stickers are in place BEFORE drop off. You will head to Parshallburg Bridge from the north (from Sharon Rd.). If you are entering from the east (Ditch Rd) you will have to go past the bridge and turn around to get in line. There will be NO PARKING for spectators or athletes at Parshallburg for the duration of the race. You will pull up, volunteers will help you unload your kayak and put it in the correct area, then you can turn around to head back to showboat park for the start of the race! Please leave any items you want for the kayak portion of the race INSIDE kayak. (Suggested: water, towel, water shoes). You will have to run walk or crawl from end of kayak portion to finsh line (about 200 meters) so be sure to plan shoe choices accordingly. *Any kayaks with no race numbers on them will not be able to drop off their kayaks until numbers are on, as this is how we keep them organized! Numbers are in everyone’s race packets!*
TEAMS: If you are also dropping off your person to complete the paddle section of the race, please bring a lawn chair or anything else you might need while waiting.
Once you have placed your watercraft and stickers, you will head to Showboat park where you will sticker your bike, pin your bib to your shirt, and get ready to race!
If you would like any supplies (water, change of shoes or clothes) you may place items in the bike holding area.
4…Race Start
Race will begin with a bike ride through our beautiful town (bike route can be found on website) there will be signs with arrows marking which direction to go, as well as volunteers along the way, but please review the map prior to the race so you know where to go! Please ride with traffic, and obey all traffic signs. There will be a cop assisting the cross at M-57.
Racers will be released in sets of 10, in numerical order of bib numbers. Please be ready to go at the start of your heat. You are responsible to be at the start line when your number group is called.
TEAMS: Your team is responsible for making sure your racers are where they need to be, and with the right equipment.
Once finished with the bike ride, you will place your bike in your designated spot in the bike holding area (volunteers will be the to help). Change into any clothes or shoes you need for the run portion, and begin running whenever ready to Parshallburg launch.
Once you drive at the launch area, locate your watercraft, and take it to the river. Please note that although volunteers may be available to help you load/unload, we cannot guarantee help with dragging or entering/exiting your watercraft. Please make sure that you are able to transport, enter, and exit your watercraft solo.
Racers will then begin paddling with the current to showboat park. Once you reach the park, please pull watercraft ALL THE WAY out of water and into the watercraft holding area, out of the way of other racers. There will be volunteers to put it in the kayak organizing area for pick up after race
Please note that your bib contains your chip for finishing so be sure to pin it somewhere that it will NOT get wet!
There may be a small run to get to the finish line so please make sure you have shoes with/on you.
YOU DID IT! Congrats on finishing, now relax, grab some food, and enjoy the weekend!
Please have bikes and kayaks picked up within 1 hour of the last racer coming in, otherwise they may be left unattended.
5…Weather
This is a rain or shine event! Our goal is to have the event on Saturday no matter what. We may delay the event if it looks like inclement weather may clear up shortly. If in the unfortunate circumstances weather is deemed too dangerous to race in, we will postpone the race to Sunday, August 2nd. All time lines will stay the same!
FAQs:
Will there be age divisions this year? Yes! The broadness of divisions will depend on who signs up! We are limiting sign ups to 100 people again this year so as they come in we will determine how many different divisions to have to make it still competitive.
Where can I preview routes? Run and bike route maps will be posted on our website.
I am doing the race with my child/minor, how do I ensure we are in the same heat? If you sign up both racers at the same time, you will likely be in the same heat. If you need to make sure, please contact Lisa at the chamber office AFTER signing up and she will help!
