We additionally sent out a survey and took time to really review the messages you were sharing with us. Even though some of the comments gave conflicting feedback, we did take the feedback of those who took time to fill out the survey and we have made a number of additions and adjustments to ensure that you, your teammates, your families and friends as well as our partners can be proud of a well run event that is deserving of our participants and that we can be proud of marks the 19th anniversary of our first 24 Hours of Adrenalin in Canmore in We as organizers feel very lucky to have the ability to continue the tradition in such a remarkable venue, which is a true legacy from the 1988 winter Olympics. We also understand that we must not take this venue for granted, nor the surrounding wildlife corridor. We at twenty4 sports feel it s our responsibility to look at the event each and every year with an eye on improving even in the slightest ways. We are always looking at the big picture, and it s our mandate to provide a fun, safe, smooth event for all involved. Last year we also were asked to institute a new Bear Spray Policy that was being rolled out to similar events at the Nordic Centre in 2014 and we are so proud of the complete compliance that we received from all those who participated at the event. We need to remember that the Nordic Centre is in one of Canada s most remarkable wildlife corridors and as such, our participant s safety is our primary concern. The following pages provided are an overview of areas for this year s event. We are excited to have back our strong and committed partners and also have a couple of new ones too. Please take the time to read the following pages so that everyone attending will be on the same page resulting in a smooth running of the 19th annual event. Even if you have participated for years there are some changes, updates and additions so grab your favorite beverage and sit back and take a read. For those new to the 24 Hours of Adrenalin and the many returning athletes we welcome you to the 2014 event. START / FINISH Stuart Dorland & Maria Deotto Founders: 24 Hours of Adrenalin

6 SOCIAL MEDIA Dating back to 1994 when we started 24 Hours of Adrenalin the goal was to provide folks with a fun filled weekend with friends and family away from busy lives and get away from the concrete jungle. Recently it seams that we are as a society pushing the envelope, wanting more and more at a quicker pace. When redesigning our web site for 2012 we struggled with are we taking away or improving the experience with added social media elements like facebook, twitter etc. Please let us know your thoughts on these areas this weekend. Until then why not like us or share elements on our Facebook page or follow us on twitter at twitter.com/24hoacanmore and tweet your experiences using #24hoa2014 After all The Experience Doesn t End After 24 Hours. Please take some time to check it out. Facebook: Twitter: #24HOA Web Site: 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 transition tent and rider waiting area. Even 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 Stringer V-Lounge and given a schwag 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 plate and schwag bag. Lost wristbands? Well let s say its like lost money... you will not be given any additional ones. TIMING... NO MORE BATONS THREE YEARS RUNNING. Back for 2014, MS1 Timing is our official partner for timing the 24 Hours of Adrenalin event. MS1 Timing is the first timing company in North America to use TAG Heuer by Chronelec transponders. As in 2013, each team will receive two high-powered, incredibly reliable chips, the same technology used in some of the largest cycling events in the world. Teams will use the chips on each and every lap. These are very expensive high-powered chips and you are 100% responsible for them and any cost associated with lost items. Like last year there will be an additional digit on your bike plate (not solo) The first three digits will represent your team number and the forth (0 9) will represent your rider number for that team. Results will now show each riders time. Captains will be able to log into the system and input the rider sequence, either before the race or live, during the race, as team rosters change. Riders can continue to ride in any order and can switch order throughout the event. Results can be viewed live online anywhere in the world, at the event on your smart phones and tablets, on video screens displayed at the event and the old school way, on printed sheets in the results tent. You ll also have the ability to share your results on FaceBook. Transponder pick up is done by Captains and Solo riders only on Saturday from 8 am to 10am. Transponder collection starts Sunday at 10am and goes until 1:30pm. Bring your smart phones, ipads, and laptops. 24hoursofadrenalin.com 6

7 NO TOLERANCE RULE Only participants who have been invited and accepted (including signing a 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 a plate that is not officially their plate the entire team will be disqualified. MAPS We have updated all the camping maps with additional information, which can be reviewed on our website. COURSE...IT S MORE THAN JUST MARKING A COURSE, IT S MAINTAINING IT! Working along side the Canmore Nordic Center Provincial Park, we consider ourselves partners in developing mountain biking at the center. Three years ago we were given an official course at the CNCPP. We announced a funding program financed by twenty4 sports that will ensure the best possible riding experience on our official course. Overseen by Friends of Kananaskis Country the yearly fund will provide two major projects each year. TRAIL GUARDIAN PROGRAM (TGP) Back for 2014, 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 plates (both front and back) identifying them. Riders will assist our trail management team throughout the event, ensuring that the course markings are in good standing. OVER / UNDER BRIDGE Part of improving the course flow a couple years go was the Over / Under Bridge. Riders will go over the bridge heading out from the transition area. It s actually very close so be sure to give it a go a few times so you re comfortable during the event. Riders will go under the bridge returning from a lap. 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 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. (This document is ed to every single participant in the system on Saturday July 5th; those added after that date it will be the responsibility of the team captain to ensure teammates and volunteers understand what is involved). 24hoursofadrenalin.com 7

8 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. 2-person is 10 x All solo competitors and 2-person teams will be camping in a solo specific area referred to as Solo Pit Row. These sites are approximately 100 square feet (10 x 10). The designated vehicle (one per solo competitor) will be located throughout the parking lots. The Solo Parking pass must be placed on the inside front windshield Hours of Adrenalin reserve the right to reallocate teams, if necessary. IMPORTANT: You must clean up your campsite 100%. You are receiving the site without any garbage and it must be left with zero garbage and recycling. This must be considered continually throughout the event. The Conservation Officer will be making hourly rounds of the campsites to ensure it meets standards of the CO. If a site has any garbage visible, the entire team will not be permitted to participate in the future. Please look for our recycling program that will be in place. Look for the Bow Valley Waste signs and pop up tents! Toward Zero Waste Events Landfills are increasingly expensive and complex operations as they meet modern environmental standards and occupy valuable land. In the Bow Valley it now costs $90.00 per ton to ship garbage to a landfill for disposal. In addition, there is growing concern over the economic inefficiencies and environmental implications related to the lifecycle of products that are quickly buried in landfills. Please join us in moving Towards Zero Waste in the Bow Valley! 24 Hours of Adrenalin is pleased to cooperate with the Bow Valley Waste Management Commission to offer a Towards Zero Waste event. We hope to achieve at least 80% diversion from landfill disposal to recycling. Look for our team of volunteer Zero Waste Ambassadors who will assist you to properly sort your disposables at clearly identified Resource Recovery Stations. There will be two stations set up: One in the Main Stadium Area and the other adjacent to the Biathlon Range. It is the responsibility of the participants to bring your recycling to the stations. We will NOT be coming to your campsite and collecting your recycling and compost. You will be required to bring your recycling to the Bow Valley Waste Tents and your garbage to the Nordic Centre bins (brown bear-proof bins) that are located through out the CNC. 24hoursofadrenalin.com 8

9 MOVE IN / PARKING & SHUTTLING PROCESS Directional signs will be in place as you exit the Trans Canada HWY. Continue towards and past the Silvertip Trail Rd. Good news: The management of the CNCPP are allowing for teams to drive in equipment once again. This is subject to ground conditions. 1. Move in for teams are from Friday July 18th, 9:30 a.m. 11:00 p.m. and from Saturday July 19th; 8:00 a.m. 11:00 a.m. Please note if you show up outside of these hours you will be denied entry. 2. Absolutely no Thursday evening move in! Our permit with the CNCPP is only for Friday and Saturday nights. Vehicles will be towed and teams will not be allowed to race. 3. Each team is permitted to have one (1) designated vehicle parked at the Nordic Centre. Although corporate teams are given two sites, they are still only permitted to have one (1) vehicle in the Nordic Centre parking lot due to its parking space constraints. A vehicle is defined as a car, truck, van, camper, or RV. As a rule of thumb, anything with wheels and a motor other than a bicycle constitutes one (1) designated vehicle. All others MUST be parked in the Main Parking Lot. Teams who are camping in A (RV camp area) can only put their designated vehicles in A at their pit site, and not in the parking lot. 4. When arriving in Canmore, all vehicles, even the designated vehicle on site, must first check in at the Main Parking Lot in the town of Canmore. (Exceptions will only be made for large RVs, which should go directly to the Nordic Center s Main Entrance). There will be a check-in tent at the Main Parking Lot where you will pick up your one vehicle parking pass and a map to get you to your pre-selected camping site. Vehicles not designated for the Nordic Centre will be parked in the Main Parking Lot in the town of Canmore and a shuttle will deliver you and your weekend supplies to the Nordic Centre. To avoid delays, try to pack your entire race supplies in your designated vehicle so there will be minimal items to shuttle. a. There will be a $5 per vehicle parking fee. Proceeds will go to a local charity. b. There will also be a $5 per person bus ride fee that will take you to the Canmore Nordic Centre. Bus coupons are purchased at the downtown parking tent.. Return rides down from the Nordic Centre are fee. 5. There are no in-and-out privileges for designated vehicles in lot A (RV camping site). 6. To facilitate increased convenience and accessibility for all participants, in-and-out privileges will be very limited due to teams not complying with the rules last year. Some privileges maybe permitted (except for vehicles in lot A). The Race Management will determine throughout the event if in fact the program is able to continue. We reserve the right at any time to discontinue, so do not ruin it for others. Each entry will be recorded, and you will be allowed a minimum number of vehicle entries per day, for the team designated vehicle. Access will be denied once you have filled your quota for each day. Access will be unrestricted at approximately 2:00 p.m. on Sunday afternoon. 7. During the event the shuttles will be running from the Main Parking Lot in the town of Canmore to the Nordic Centre on a round trip. Their frequency will increase during peak times. There will be no fee to take the shuttle from the Nordic Centre back to the Main Parking Lot. The buses will make a stop in the town of Canmore behind the Library, coming from the parking to the Nordic Center and to the Parking lot from the Nordic Center. 8. There will be absolutely no parking on Spray Lakes Road leading up to the Canmore Nordic Centre. This will be strictly enforced by the Nordic Centre and by the RCMP, and they will be ticketing and towing vehicles. 24hoursofadrenalin.com 9

10 DIRECTIONS TO MAIN PARKING LOT (BUS PROGRAM AND SHUTTLE PROGRAM) Following the Trans Canada Hwy take Bench lands Trail and then turn left on Palliser Trail. Continue past Silvertip. You will notice our tent at the far end of the open parking area. Please proceed to the entrance. CAMPGROUND ETIQUETTE Please bring extra garbage bags.
