instructions indicating the locations of the checkpoints.

you will be completing each of the race disciplines
will only be provided on Race Day.

by the race organization. Solos may paddle any form
of non-motorized floatworthy craft they choose.

- The fundamental rule of Storm the Trent is that
team members be within visible sight of each other
at all times. The penalty for breaking this rule will
be disqualification.
- Checkpoints and race disciplines must be completed
in the order they are assigned.
- All racers must race with a list of mandatory team
and individual gear requirements. Time penalties will
be applied if a team or solo racer is found to be
without a mandatory gear item.
- Racers must wear their bike helmets at all times
while travelling by bike, and their PFD's at all times
during water travel. Racers found not wearing their
required gear will be disqualified.
- Teams paddle in canoes only (only solos may paddle
in kayaks), and cannot paddle with more than 2 people
in a canoe. Kayak paddles may be used in canoes.
- Each team or solo racer must check in at each of
the course checkpoints. Failure to do so will result
in either having penalty minutes assigned, or a "NOR"
ranking (Not Officially Ranked).
- Each team or solo racer is solely responsible for
ensuring that they have been checked through by checkpoint
staff. Not being accounted for at any of the staffed
checkpoints will result in an automatic "NOR"
ranking.
- For safety and/or logistics reasons, certain areas
of the racecourse will be declared “out-of-bounds”.
Any team or solo racer found in these areas will be
immediately disqualified.
- Cut-off times may be imposed at certain checkpoints.
Teams or solo racers that arrive at such checkpoints
after the designated cut-off time will be directed
to the Finish Line.
- Each team must have a team name included
with their registration. Storm Racing reserves the
right to refuse entry to any team that does not provide
a team name.
- Registration forms submitted without the requested racer information completed in full will not be processed.
- Registrations are considered incomplete until full payment is received.
- Members of a team may be changed, but only if notification is given prior to Race Day.
- All racers must sign a race waiver on Race Day. Any participants who are under 18 years of age must have a parent or guardian present when signing these waivers.
- Racers under 16 years of age must be on a team that includes at least one adult.
