We encourage 3 person teams.
If you want to have a 2 person team, the price is the same as a 3 person team. Please contact us to set this up. You are responsible for getting yourselves to each transition. We will not be able to provide timing to you as our timer can't recognize a 2-person team in a 3-person division.
No.
Please know that your money, should you be unable to attend is going to a great cause! We are a volunteer run organization, registered as a 501(c) 3 non-profit, giving thousands to other organizations each year.

If you are renting boats from Rick Klade or River Forest Campground, you do not need to have your boat inspected. Start times may change slightly from the notification you received prior to the event. If you are not lined up and miss your start time you will be disqualified.
Shuttle service will be provided for racers to the start area. Starting at 6:30 A.M. a shuttle will run from the FINISH to the START with the last run at 9:45 A.M. It is OK to have someone who is with you shuttle you back to the start. Note: There is no shuttle back to the start from the finish line after the race…plan accordingly to have a ride back to the start after your race!
A boat, appropriate floatation (depending on the type of boat used), PFD, bike and helmet are mandatory. Refraining from the use of safety equipment at any time during the race is grounds for disqualification. Boats are readily rentable from Rick Klade or River Forest Campground and Rafts if you do not have your own boat.
