We wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of the urban jungle. Now that social media has become such a big part of everyone’s lives, we feel that we can build a sense of community for our event, while still getting back to what it is really about. Check us out on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for daily updates, photos and videos from us leading up 24 Hours of Adrenalin. After all “The Experience Doesn’t End After 24 Hours”. Please take some time to check it out. Facebook: www.facebook.com/24HOACANMORE Twitter: twitter.com/24HOACANMORE #24HOA #24HOA2016 @24hoacanmore Instagram: instagram.com/24hoacanmore #24HOA #24HOA2016 @24hoacanmore Web Site: www.24hoursofadrenalin.com/canmore WRISTBANDS – DO NOT LOSE YOUR WRISTBAND A wristband policy is in effect. All participants must wear their wristband at all times. Wristbands improve the flow of traffic in and out of key areas including the rider check in tent and rider waiting area. Event Volunteers will have wristbands to wear during their actual volunteer shift (volunteers will have their wristbands cut off by our Volunteer Managers and Hosts in the “Honey Stinger V-Lounge” and given a swag bag after their shift... (Thanks again volunteers). Also it will improve our ability to ensure that no riders “who have not signed a waiver and are not officially on a team” have access to the course. Only those wearing wristbands will be allowed to start (register as the next rider in the check-in tent) or finish a lap. Wristbands will be placed on your wrist when picking up your event kit. Lost wristbands? Well let’s say its like lost money... you will not be given any additional ones. NO TOLERANCE RULE Only participants who have been invited, accepted the invitation and signed the online waiver by a team captain are permitted to take part in the event. Any person found on the course that is not a fully registered rider will be asked to leave the Canmore Nordic Centre (CNCPP) immediately. Any team that allows another rider not on the official team list to participate will be automatically disqualified and asked to leave the CNCPP. Any rider found riding with a plate that is not officially their plate will result in the disqualification of the entire team. MAPS We have updated all the camping maps with additional information, which can be reviewed on our website. 24hoursofadrenalin.com 6 Six years ago we were given an official course at the CNCPP, which is lightly marked as the 24 Hours of Adrenalin course during the year. Last year we messed up with course marking and included a nasty climb at the end of the course loop. That climb will not be part of the 2016 course. Working alongside the CNCPP, we have always considered ourselves partners in developing mountain biking at the CNCPP and have contributed to a trail maintenance fund to ensure that the course is maintained throughout the year. At the close of the event last year, we asked an independent course advisor to provide recommendations for trail maintenance and submitted our recommendations to the Friends of Kananakis and the Canmore Nordic Centre. TRAIL GUARDIAN PROGRAM Back for 2016, the “Trail Guardian Program” will be back to support the event. These riders are part of a ten-person team that will ride with special identifying plates (both front and back). They will assist our trail management team throughout the event, ensuring that the course markings are in good standing. NO OVER / UNDER BRIDGE Since 2010, we’ve used a course crossing structure called the “over/under bridge”. This structure allowed riders to go over the bridge heading out from the check-in tent, and come back from the course going under the bridge to finish up their laps. At the close of the 2015 event, the CNCPP asked us to remove the structure, which had been stored at the facility since the structure was erected. As a result, we’ve redesigned the entire entrance and exit of the course into and out of the expo area. No more navigating the bridge ramp :) COURSE MARKING The course is lightly marked as of Thursday, fully marked on Friday. Remember that the CNCPP is open to the public during the week leading up to the event. CAMPING/PARKING PLAN Attention Team Captains! Please read the following in detail and ensure that each and every one of your teammates and supporters are aware of the camping / parking procedures. Make sure every person on your team knows the full team name and captain’s name. The Canmore Nordic Centre is not designed to handle the vast number of people and vehicles expected for the unique needs of the 24 Hours of Adrenalin. As such, a camping / parking program has been specially designed for the event. It will run smoothly as long as you and your team members follow the guidelines below. (A link to this document is emailed to every single participant in the system on Friday, June 19th and is posted on our website.) Copyright © 2016 twenty4sports Inc., All Rights Reserved COURSE CAMPSITES 1. Included in your team entry fee is one (1) camping spot that is approximately 600 square feet. Corporate teams are given two (2) sites. Solo sites are approximately 100 square feet and 2 person sites are approximately 200 square feet. 2.All solo competitors and 2-person teams will be camping in a specific area referred to as Solo Pit Row. 3. All other camping sites are clearly marked in specific designated areas. 4.We will have a ‘camping crew’ onsite to assist you in locating your reserved campsite, but please familiarize yourself with the camping map provided. 5.You are responsible to clean up your campsite 100% and this must be considered continually throughout the event. The Conservation Officer will be making rounds of the campsites to ensure, no garbage or food is left unattended. If the site has garbage visible, the entire team will not be permitted to participate. 6. In consideration for the wildlife corridor in which the event takes place, no food products must be left out and unattended. All food must be locked away in a secure location in order to limit the attention to the wildlife in the park. * 24 Hours of Adrenalin reserves the right to reallocate teams, if necessary. WASTE REMOVAL Once again, we are excited to be working with DIG – Do It Green, from Calgary, in order to achieve our goal of maximum waste diversion from landfill. In 2015, we were able to achieve a remarkable 70% diversion rate and this year we hope to beat that mark. Please think about your waste consumption during the event weekend and use the recycling stations that will be positioned in the infield area. Remember, we have a ZERO TOLERANCE rule regarding leaving any garbage or food unattended. This is a wildlife corridor and food and garbage are attractants that need to be locked away securely when unattended. We will have garbage collection at the campsites, but help our volunteers and DIG crew by putting your garbage into the bear proof bins located near the day lodge. We also need you to pay particular attention to move out on Sunday and ask that you DO NOT leave your garbage at your campsite and either bring all your garbage away with you or dispose of it in the garbage bins provided at the event site. 24hoursofadrenalin.com 8 Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times throughout the weekend! Dogs are not allowed in the transition / expo areas of the event. Dogs are also not permitted on the passenger shuttle nor in the Solo Pit Row. GENERAL CAMPGROUND GUIDELINES Campground A RV camping only (i.e. large campers & motor homes). There will be one RV vehicle allowed per site in this campground. All Other Campgrounds Please refer to the outlines on the web site. Disclaimer: 24 Hours of Adrenalin will endeavor to place you in your desired campsite. However if weather or related issues from the CNCPP take place we reserve the right to move your site.

CAPTAINS / TEAMS / VOLUNTEERS •Your attendance is required at the Captain’s Meeting (10:30 am on Saturday in front of the stage) to get all the information about the event. •Volunteers meeting is directly after the captains meeting in front of the stage at 10:45 am. Thanks again to all the volunteers! : ) ONLINE VOLUNTEER SELECTION SYSTEM Three years ago, we added a new feature based on feedback gained from the off-season survey. Captains are able to pre select your volunteer shift directly online. No longer are volunteers required to line up to make a selection. Selections are on a first come first served basis and are part of the registration selection for 2016. Volunteers need to check in with the Honey Stringer V-Lounge Hosts prior to the volunteer meeting on Saturday morning. V-LOUNGE PRESENTED BY HONEY STINGER We are once again pleased to have Honey Stringer as the proud partner of the “Honey Stringer V-Lounge” brought to you by Planet Foods. All volunteers will have access to this lounge area leading up to and following the volunteer’s shift. We can’t run a smooth, fun safe event without the great volunteers, so we approached Honey Stringer to become our partners. Volunteers will have an area that is wristband-only access; a place to grab a hot or cold beverage, sit down in a heated tent or on the V-Lounge patio. Volunteers will also have an assortment of Honey Stinger products. The lounge will have two hosts throughout the entire event, plus our two additional crew members assisting with your volunteer shifts. Please note that Volunteers must check in on either Friday (2 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. / 7 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.) or Saturday morning (before 10 a.m.) Your shift has been pre selected online, but you must check in to ensure we have you accounted for. 24hoursofadrenalin.com 14 All running events, gran fondo’s, triathlons etc. require the participant to pick up his or her event kit. Our insurance requires us to check for ID of each and every participant. No longer can one person from a team pick up the team’s kit. In order to facilitate a smooth transition of all participants vs. the number of teams, we are doubling our hours and adding three times as many crew. Additionally we have streamlined the insurance step so that it’s just one stop. •Event Kit Pick Up Hours: Friday Afternoon 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. • Location is inside the Canmore Nordic Centre in the Day Lodge BEAR SPRAY REQUIREMENT All riders must carry Bear Spray as outlined by the Canmore Nordic Centre mandatory rule. To read the official notification to all event directors who are subject to this mandatory rule, visit the Rules section of our website. Anyone found without bear spray will not only result in their own disqualification, but will result in the disqualification of the ENTIRE team. BACK AGAIN THIS YEAR–TRIALS RIDER RYAN LEECH While Ryan began racing cross-country mountain bikes at age 14, he became increasingly involved in trials riding throughout the mid 90’s. At 16, Ryan became one of the youngest trials riders and is now a legend in the field. He has performed across North America and has made several appearances in mountain biking films. In 2006, Ryan created a school program called Trials of Life, that essentially combines his regular action trials show with an inspirational message oriented towards children. We’re very excited to have Ryan at our 24 Hours of Adrenalin event.
