Security

There will be volunteers located along the race in order to ensure the safety of all participants. An emergency medical team will be present on the scene. All participants are asked to think about their safety at all times.

 

Transportation and Parking

Parking for participants will be located at the rear of the funeral parlor "Brunswick Funeral Residence" near the entrance to the skate park.

 

The team participants will be responsible for their transportation during the whole journey. Given that the parking area is limited, it is highly recommended to car pool.

The participants for the individual category will have the opportunity to park their vehicles at the Mont Farlagne where a bus will transport them at the Skate park at 7h45 am. It is recommended to leave your bikes at the skate park before going back to the Mont Farlagne to take the bus. A supervisor will be on site to make sure nothing happens to your bikes.

 

Fruit and water

Water will be available at the skate park and a few places at the Mont Farlagne.

Fruits will be served for participants only, at the Mont Farlagne, in order to help them recover some of their strength after the race.

 

 

People of 18 years and under will have to obtain the signature of a parent or a legal guardian to participate.
