Mini-FAQ
Quick answers to the most common questions. See the full FAQ for more.
What should I bring?
Season-appropriate clothing, sturdy boots, headlamp, water bottle, and personal camping gear (Tent, sleeping bag, and air mattress or sleeping pad). A recommended packing list will be emailed after registration.
Team vs. Solo — how does it work?
Everyone competes in 2-person teams. Register with a partner, or register solo and we’ll pair you with a teammate before the event. Teams collaborate on each challenge and are scored together. If your teammate buys separately, you’ll be linked with a team code.
What’s the refund/rollover policy?
Refunds are available within 14 days of purchase (unless within 30 days of the event). After that window, you can roll your ticket once to a future date. See the full policy on our Refunds page.
Is there an age requirement?
Yes—competitors and volunteers must be 18+. Please bring a government-issued ID to check-in.
What about camping and parking?
Weekend Spectator Camping Pass includes on-site camping for Sat/Sun. Day parking is included for all registered competitors and spectators. Personal camping gear is not provided.
What if the weather is bad?
We run with heat/cold/lightning protocols—schedules may flex, and we add shade/water or warming setups as needed. Safety briefings cover all contingencies.
