Courses may be changed or altered based on conditions.  If you arrive late and miss your start time you will be bumped to shorter distance. These "rules" are in place for a smooth run event and not a logistical nightmare. Participants are expected to start at the time they register for. We will not start riders at non-scheduled times as it makes scheduling volunteers and coordinating the event harder. Out of respect to all those volunteering, course cut-off time will be 3:30pm. We kindly ask that you return to the shelter at that time and sign out even if this means you did not finish your distance. You can always go back out on your own afterwards. Please note that this is NOT a closed course, so all traffic laws must be followed and caution is warranted the entire day. NUTRITION:  Participants are encouraged to bring their own nutrition (food, drink, etc) to complete the event that they are registered for, however the BTC will also provide water, Infinit products, and other snacks. We will have supplies available at the park shelter, as well as at a tent on the bike course, and a table on the run course. Participants are welcome to stage their own supplies at these locations as well. According to the web site for Beaver Island Park, there will not be a charge to enter the park on the day of the event. We are always looking for volunteers to help with this event. If you are interested in volunteering please register as a volunteer if you can help us! If you have any questions about this event, you can direct them to the events committee.
