All Champions will be able to pick your Prize from a Prize table.......lets
get those Juniors out there.....Juniors 10-12,13-14,15-16,17-18 for boys and
girls
- The course is amazing.....huge aide for your water consumption and Heed

- Race your age group or Cat or both
- All laps start and end and your time starts when passing the finish
line.......so get your position/hole shot on the starter loop
- For those that are racing after 11am and 1pm it will be hot.....maybe 5
degree's cooler at the falls and you can go down and take a soak after so
bring your swimming suit/trunks and enjoy a BBQ and bring your own
beverages.
- Please load up on water and come in hydrated as Heat Exhaustion can
creep up on you quick
- It may be crowded with free camping weekend and they do not take
reservations.
Some other details
Please park on the Fall Creek access rd (flaggers will point the way) Its on
the left side of the road when driving up from Monroe/Alpine off of 99 from
Eugene or Corvallis The Race sign will point you to Parking
Please drive slow as the climb to the falls is extremely curvy and there is
no centerline........so be careful and leave on time, give yourself time
When parking you will see orange cones.......this is the course....so do not
run over a rider racing and stay to the right
BBQ is free....family and friends are preparing for you starting at 11:30.
Family Meal Tickets are 5.00 per
We will be staging the fields from the picnic area 10 minutes before each
scheduled start and will start each wave after the sweep rider has gone
through and the course is clear.
We have Weststates flaggers hired to control the entry and exist on the road
.75 mile section and the crossover on the start loop. Please be aware that
you need to look and be aware of your own safety as anything is possible.
When warming up please stay to the side of the roads and do not block
traffic.
This is a new venue with the BLM and land access is very hard to find
especially in August with Fire season in full effect.....so do not liter, be
aware and courteous of other users.
