All three team members must arrive and depart PC's together. Passports will only be verified when all three team members are present and accounted for. Teams missing a PC will be excluded from the rankings. However, a team may backtrack to a missed checkpoint before continuing on in the event. A team that has lost its passport will be held at either a checkpoint or at a transition point and assessed a 2 hour time penalty.
All teams are responsible for checking into the final PC immediately after finishing the event.
Race Organizers will hold all passports until all results are final. Each member of your team must at all times be wearing an activated headlamp. Members of your team must have attached to their PFD, at all times, two activated yellow glow sticks. All teams must stay within 50 meters of the southern shoreline of the Columbia River, regardless of the direction your team is currently paddling. It is the responsibility of participants to inform Race Officials when and if they withdraw from the event.
