Hail Drew -
Thanks for your interest in the PIRANHA RELAY, and especially in the solo
team category.
I have been asked this question by a few people over the past several
months, and I am grateful for your approach. Our goal is to provide more
than just a race; we want to provide an experience for all of the riders.
That is why we've created so many team and category options, with cash
prizes awarded to each. We've designed cool and unique medals, awards,
t-shirts, and trophies. Our checkpoints are fully staffed and provide
supplies and medical support. And finally, we've created a scenic and
challenging racecourse, available only during this race series.
In order to reward the efforts of the single riders, we offer a more
comprehensive awards package than we do for the larger teams. All single
riders receive:
Entrant's T-Shirt
Finisher's T-Shirt
Finisher's Medal (Custom Crafted)
Belt Buckle (two different sizes related to finishing time) Custom Crafted
Winners from each category receive a $500 cash prize, and have the
opportunity to take all prize money from that category if they have the
fastest time.
Custom Crafted Trophies for all categories
Also, in an effort to give back to the communities helping with the race
series, proceeds are donated to the following charities:
Warm Springs Recreation Department (Tribal Youth Related)
Warm Springs Boys and Girls Club (Tribal Youth Related)
Inter-Tribal Basketball Tournament (Tribal Youth Related)
Scott McQueeny Memorial Fund (Cancer Related)
Boy Scouts of America (Youth Related)
After attending Leadville Bike 100 last year as volunteer, and seeing its
beginning 10 years ago, we are offering a challenging race for the same
cost. Granted we have about half the elevation to challenge riders, but we
but we do have terrain and desert heat.
I am not sure if this has answered your question? I do appreciate your
inquiry - please let me know if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Kip Buck
Race Director

A few of us in Bend are interested in the race but is the price right for
the solo teams...That seems so high compared to the teams. Let me know if I
am reading it right? If it was about half I think I have 4 guys who would
be
doing it.
Thanks

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Piranha Relay 100 mi MTB race???

Please respond to

Hey there MTB'ers,
This sounds like a really cool Oregon event! At least the website makes
it look professional. It's a 100 mile mtb relay race next weekend...
and, YIKES! ... $290 to enter for a 4 person team, $250 for 2 person
teams, and $220 for soloists. Oh, and there's no ability level
categories, just "open".
http://www.warmspringsenduranceseries.com/
Who is promoting it? Where, when, or how does one learn about it??? I
don't know if anyone else out there has even heard about this event. I
know I haven't seen any flyers or word of it, and I would consider
myself kind of an "in-the-know" person when it comes to oregon mtb'ing.
Reading the race website schedule, it says that the deadline to register
is "saturday july 1st 2004"... Isn't today (thursday) the first of July?
Any OBRA members out there that have more information, it would be great
to share that to the list! Thanks.
Chris Brandt
