The call up location is in the race venue – meet there at least 10 minutes before your call up time for roll call. ⚠️ Every racer will be checked to make sure they make they go out at their assigned time - any racer not present at their call up will be disqualified. There are absolutely NO early starts or going out with a different category without prior permission from the race director. 

At your call up time an official will physically activate your timing chip. Should this not happen, you won’t get times. It is your responsibility to be at the call up and ensure that your chip gets activated. 

The NW Tune Up Van Life Camping is the closest camping to the festival and just a few minutes from Galbraith. Link Here

The NW Tune Up also has a variety of lodging partners. Link Here

FOOD + WATER - Bring more than you think you'll need! Plan to carry at least 50 ounces  of water on you at all times while riding, plus carb and protein rich snacks to have on hand throughout the day. The aid station on course is not intended to be your sole support, it's intended for water top-offs and  food to supplement you. Proper preparation goes a long way in preventing emergencies on race day.

HELMETS / BODY PROTECTION Helmets must be worn at all times while on course, on both the transfers and race stages. If you're pedaling you must have your helmet securely fastened or risk disqualification. A full face helmet is highly suggested, but not mandatory. Additional body protection to consider are gloves, knee pads, eye protection, neck braces, chest protection, elbow guards, etc.

COURSE MAP Download the Trailforks App to your mobile device with updated regional maps including the event course links released on Wednesday evening of race week; if you do not have a mobile write down the course details with stage names and order to carry with you during the event, found in the race guide or on the information board in the main venue.​

TRASH - Pack it in, pack it out. Please help us keep the forest clean while we're guests at the race venue. 
TOOLS - Pack a small tool kit with puncture repair kit + multi tool for on the fly trailside repairs
AID - Consider a basic first aid kit with sunscreen, bug spray and bandaids to take care of the bites, burns, stings and things. A waterproof jacket, emergency blanket and whistle area all good ideas too!cription
