⏰ Plan Ahead: Start your gear drop-off about 2 hours before your start time. This allows:

• 1 hour to drop off gear and park at Gardner Dam

• 10–15 minutes for shuttle travel to the start

• 30 minutes line-up at the start before your boat launch

🚌 Shuttle Service

• Starting location: Friday night boat inspection parking lot at Gardner Dam

• Purpose: Transport racers to the boat start after gear drop-off

• Runs: 6:30 AM – 9:45 AM

• You may also have someone drive you to the start if preferred

• No shuttle after the race – have a vehicle at the finish (Gardner Dam) to collect your gear before the party

BIBS & TIMING CHIPS ⏱️

• All racers will receive a bib with a timing chip embedded.

• Attach the bib to the front of your shirt or shorts. The chip may not register your split or finish time if placed elsewhere.

• At the boat/bike exchange, remove your PFD (personal flotation device) before crossing the timing mat 🛶.

• Volunteers will guide racers across timing mats at each exchange. All racers must cross the mat to have their time recorded.

• Relay teams: Members must wait in the transition area for their teammate to finish. Please do not stand near the timing mat.

SPECTATOR AREAS 👀

• Spectators can view the paddling segment at Langlade Motel (river-side lawn, Hwy 64/55 intersection).

• Do not view the race from the Hwy 64 bridge.

• Spectators, please approach the course cautiously ⚠️ and yield to racers and volunteers.

 🚻 Comfort Stations & Aid

• Locations: Aid stations and port-potties are located at both transition areas and the finish line 💧.

• Boat-to-Bike Transition: Use the DNR-provided pit toilets.

• Bike-to-Run Transition: A row of port-potties is available approximately 0.1 miles from the start of the run.

🚴‍♂️ TRAIL RULES & PASSING ETIQUETTE

• Road Crossings: Follow all caution signs. Stay in control and respect other racers.

• Overtaking: Loudly announce your intentions (e.g., "Passing on your left!") and pass only where safe.

• Being Overtaken: Move safely to the edge of the trail to allow faster riders or runners to pass.

• Biking Control: "Read the trail ahead" to avoid sudden braking. Dismount if necessary and always yield to oncoming trail traffic.

• Transition Chute: Enter the transition chute under control. Volunteers will take your bike to storage—please thank them!

⛑️ SAFETY & MEDICAL SUPPORT

• Course Monitors: The Wisconsin Bike Patrol will monitor the bike and run trails. Certified Rescue Boaters will monitor the river rapids.

• Emergency Services: The Wolf River Volunteer Fire Department 🔥 will be stationed at the finish line. Please thank these dedicated volunteers for their service!

• Allergy Alert: Bees and hornets are highly active this time of year 🐝. If you are allergic, you must carry your EpiPen with you throughout the entire race.

• Did Not Finish (DNF): If you cannot complete the race ⚠️, you must notify a volunteer or race official with your name and bib number so we know you are safe and accounted for.

CUT-OFF TIMES ⏳

• Racers must reach the BOAT/BIKE exchange by 12:00 PM and the BIKE/RUN exchange by 1:00 PM, or they will be disqualified ⚠️.

• These cut-offs help respect the time and effort of our many volunteers.
