Just wanted to note that we are watching the weather carefully and wanted to provide some additional information.

We will have a truck or van at the start which can transport a drop bag to the summit finish. Please mark your bag accordingly, we are not providing drop bags, we are just proving transport for them. We will also have some limited shuttle capacity to drive people down from the summit, however we will not have the capacity to shuttle everyone down. If you are planning to do this race you should plan to ride down, the shuttle is to accommodate those in greatest need. You may arrange your own ride down, however parking at the summit is limited and we have no control over availability (parking area is open to public access during event). A NW Forest Pass is needed for summit parking or else you need to pay a daily use fee ($5).

We will also be getting the portable propane heater from OBRA equipment and will have it available if needed at the summit. There will also be several pop-up tents at the finish area to provide some cover as well in the event we get a rain shower. We want this to be a safe (and fun) event and wanted you to be aware of what kind of support you can expect at this race.
