 Leg #3 Information - RunningCourse Length: Approx 8 miles
 Leg 3/Running Information for 2008
Updates made in 2008. New and Former Racers: Please Read.
REGISTRATION:
A designated team representative must pick up the team’s race packet prior to the race. Please refer to procedures on page 3 for pickup times and location. The packet includes the team timing chip, racing bibs & t-shirts. The designated team representative must distribute items to team members. There will be no racing bibs at the exchange areas. PRE-RACE MEETING:
There will be a pre-race meeting at 8:30 AM on Race Day at the Day Lodge to review the race course. It is important that all runners ATTEND this meeting. EQUIPMENT:
Appropriate attire for a race on pavement is required. ROAD CLOSURE:
The road will be closed at 8:30 AM at Canyon Creek Road, Glacier, going east towards the mountain. Any viewers, participants or additional support vehicles who want to go to the top of the mountain must pass Canyon Creek Road prior to 8:30 AM. For safety purposes, the road will be closed westbound at 8:30 AM at the Mt. Baker Lodge and will not reopen until 10:00 AM. No vehicles will be allowed to travel down the mountain prior to 10:00 AM. After 10:00 AM and for the duration of the race, vehicles traveling down Mt. Baker Highway (west) will be dispersed in groups of 5–7 to ensure the safety of the participants. Dispersal is based upon the flow of the race. Team members, spectators and fans should plan accordingly. PARKING:
Parking: There are two options. 1st : It is recommended that the Runner car pools with the Skiers to the top of the mountain and arrange to be picked up at the Runner/Bike exchange area by them on their return. This will reduce the number of vehicles on the road and those using the limited parking at the Road Bike exchange parking area. 2nd option is; the Runner parks at the Runner/Bike exchange parking area and arranges for a ride from there to the top of the mountain and his exchange area. (See bike leg parking section if the 2nd option is used. Also, note the road closure information). COURSE:
The runner is responsible for the Downhill Skiers time. Please be in the designated start area and be in position when your team mate is approaching. After receiving the wristband, the runner will swipe the chip to create a finish/start time, run the event, swipe the chip at the end for a finish/start time, and pass the chip to the road biker. The runner will follow a well-defined route along Mt. Baker Highway for eight miles. Mile markers will be in place during the race. Water stations will be set up near mile 3 and mile 6, and runners will be checked off by bib number at several check points. The downhill run will consist of a 2,000 ft. drop in elevation. Runners must remain on the right side of the road. This will be monitored by official observers appointed by the Race Committee. Be aware that there is still traffic on the highway. INFRACTION OF RULES:
Infraction of the rules by one team member will disqualify the entire team. RESULTS:
It is important for all racers to show their bib numbers when crossing the exchange areas. Timing of individual legs may vary based upon exchange area layout. Therefore, personal time kept by racers may not correspond to official results. VOLUNTEERING FOR RUNNING LEG:
