The Experience
Before You Go
Arrive early to complete waiver and weigh-in
Complete the online waiver before arrival and plan to be weighed at check-in; arriving 20–30 minutes early speeds the process.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
No sandals or slip-ons—comfort and ankle support matter for stairs and platform approaches.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Bring water and sun protection—high exposure on platforms and between runs makes UV and dehydration real concerns.
