Don't let the name fool ya, all racers must be clothed (the mountain was naked in 1884, not the racers in 2020).

There will be a PRE race safety meeting race morning at the stage in front of the boathouse at time TBD. 

The main gate will open at 6am giving you plenty of time to drop off your boat at the boat ramp parking area, and stage your bike and running gear at the boathouse parking lot in the staging area.
