Inaugural racers are those that have registered for every race since we began in 2014. They receive a special race shirt, as shown here by Shananne and Jessica in 2021.
They also have their race bibs placed perfectly for identification purposes.
Race bibs are provided for identification purposes and MUST be clearly visible from the time you arrive at the starting line until the race is complete. Your very first photo at the starting line should have your bib number prominently shown. The racers in this 2021 photo have them placed perfectly.
It is against our rules to race in any shirt other than our branded race shirts. This is mentioned many, many, many times throughout the weeks before the race. We reserve the right to remove you from the race without a refund if you do not wear our shirt.
However, you can dress up your outfit to suit yourself. In fact, we encourage it! The race if designed for fun, so make it as much fun as you want!
We guarantee and promise you will get wet, and during some races, many times.
Don't wear your new shoes! You must have shoes on during the times you are going from challenge to challenge. Safety first and last!
Yes, we are going to make you do weird things during the challenges. You can bet on it!
Will you be expected to lift anything heavy while doing the challenges? No, but if you choose to lift your team mate, you're on your own!
(You will never be expected to lift anything that you are physically incapable of lifting. Just say the word if something is too heavy and we'll adjust your challenge!)
Racers must be at least 10 years old on the day of the race. This is not negotiable. At least one racer MUST be a legal adult. It can be a parent or guardian.
No, you cannot have your friend, child, neighbor, best friend, aunt, grandmother... tag along with you on the race course. Each and every racer must follow the published race course. Short cuts or other diversions are not permitted. This is not negotiable. If you cannot finish the race for any reason, simply let a volunteer or Quadrant Captain know and they will send someone to pick you up and take you to your vehicle or call 911, as is appropriate.
Our race teams are teams of two (2). No more, no less.
In the months before the race, we send out several emails to let you know super important details about the race. If you have given us an email address with your registration that you do not check often, please either give us a different email address, or check that account often. YOU WILL MISS IMPORTANT INFO if you do not get our emails! Thanks! (We do not spam you or sell your info.)
P.S. The majority of the questions we get in the weeks up till race day were already answered in those emails. If you have registered and not received email from us by the time we are 3 weeks out from the race, please contact us by email or check the Facebook page for updates.
