Teams and sometimes all participants will be orienteering throughout the entire race.

All teams are self-supported. Teams are required to provide all their necessary gear; including food and fluids needed for their race. No outside assistance will be allowed during the race. Teams can store whatever gear and equipment they think they may need in the transition area of the race course.
