Yes we will have separate Male and Female changing tents available in transition for the Ultra-Distance Athletes.

You must turn in all bags prior to 6:30 am on race morning.

Each Ultra-Distance Athlete will be provided with five bags at Packet Pick-up for race day:

Yes, loose gear will be not allowed in the transition area on the ground next to the bikes of the Ultra-Distance Athletes. You will be provided a bag for all of your transition needs. Transition Bag check-in is located in transition right outside of the changing tents. You will be required to hang your transition bags at the pre-assigned location which will be identified by your bib number. You must have your bags placed by 6:30 am on race morning.

Bike and Run Special Needs bags will need to be dropped off Sunday morning at the designated drop off location. This area will be clearly marked and located just inside transition. MiTi Staff will transport these bags to the special needs stations which will be located near the midpoint of the bike and the halfway point on the run.

We will make an effort to return these bags to you; however, we are not responsible for items not returned. DO NOT place anything of value in your special needs bag. Special Needs bags can be retrieved on Sunday until midnight. The Bike Special Needs bags will be brought back to transition for pickup by 5:30 pm. The Run Special Needs bags can be picked up at the First Aid Station until Midnight. If bags are not picked up by Midnight of Race Day, the bags will be discarded. We will be responsible for bags left at the race site and all items will be discarded.
