Be kind to the environment, spend time with your teammates, and avoid the parking headache and shuttle bus situation once you arrive. Sleep on the way up, celebrate* on the way home.

In all cases, we will need (in addition to your money) your name, email address, and your team name. You will receive confirmation via email upon payment that you have a spot on the bus and you will receive a follow-up email the week before the race confirming the above details.
