Waivers

• You will need to re-sign your waiver electronically before entering the event.  
• You can do that here or on site when you check-in. We recommend signing electronically, prior to arriving, to make your check-in process easier.

• A few days after the event, you will receive an email when the photos are available. At that time, you will be able to view and download your photos.
• Our system makes finding your photos super-easy! Upload a selfie and our facial recognition software will scan all the photos taken and return any matches.

Pro Tips

• To ensure you have the quickest and smoothest check-in, complete your waiver online before you go and have your ticket and ID out, ready to scan.
• Bring a fresh change of clothes, a towel and an extra layer if it’s cold. The rinse stations are cold water only. 
• Pack all of this in a weather proof bag. Bag check is included in your ticket price, it’s located in a fenced-in, uncovered area. We’ll have some spare bags on-site, but best to bring your own. Don’t leave any valuables in your bag!
• After you check in, make sure your wristband is on nice and snug. You will need this throughout your time on course. 
• Adults get lost too. Make sure you prearrange a meeting point with your spectators and teammates.
