Four weeks to go — and your team is registered! Now is the perfect time to start getting ready. The best preparation is also the most fun: ride and hike together so race day feels familiar, not brand new. Practice as a team — encouraging each other and solving problems as one. Everything you need for race day lives in the Athletes' Corner — gear, waivers, schedule, lodging, and more. Please take a moment to sign your waiver, and check that your teammate signed too.
