The race will begin on May 15th, 2010 and finish the following day. Here's the basic schedule:
Friday, May 14th
5:00pm - 8:15pm: Race Check-In
8:15pm - 9:00pm: Team Captain Meeting
Saturday, May 15th
6:45am - 7:00am: Pre-Race Briefing
7:00am: Race Start
Sunday, May 16th
2:00pm: Race Cutoff
2:00pm - 4:00pm: Awards Ceremony, Gear Drawing, Post-Race Meal
Two things to note if you attended last year's race:
- Pre-race plotting/strategy Friday night will be far less involved, meaning at least one more hour of sleep for folks the night before. We are doing this largely to allow folks to have more flexibility as to when they show up. We had a fairly large bottleneck as check-in opened up last year and so we are hoping that some teams will opt to arrive a little later now (but don't everyone show up late!!) that they know they will not have to burn the midnight oil by doing so.
- Lead teams will not be finishing in the early hours of morning in the 2010 Atomic Adventure Race. This means less waiting for them for the post-race awards ceremony.
