After Your Run:

After the Timing Chip handoff to your bicyclist, exit the lane to your left and enter the grassy area, water will be available. It is a good idea to leave behind some gear for you in a weatherproof bag with your bike racer teammate. Examples of such gear would be towels, warm and dry clothing, gloves, hand warmers, rain gear, and an umbrella. If you want to cross the “chute” to the bike side of the exchange, do so only at the marked pedestrian crossing; do not cross at the finish line. There is a “bag drop” area located on the runner side of the exchange about 100’ east of the finish line. The bag drop is an honor system so please make sure you pick up the correct bag.

Your time for the running leg will not be available at this exchange area as there is no internet access at this site. Timing data is relayed by ham radio operators and updated every few minutes, but since there is no cell phone service, you will not be able to view your time. If you want to know your time immediately, please use a personal timing device.

If you are being picked up by a car from the ski area, the most efficient way for them to pick you up is from the Sno-Park 1/2 mile east. They are allowed to pick you up at the DOT station but Law Enforcement does not allow the driver to get out of the car or stop longer than 30 seconds, so the runner needs to be ready to jump in to avoid traffic congestion. Please watch for your car to minimize the time it is stopped since there is limited space. If you have a car at Salmon Ridge Sno-park, you may walk back there at any time. Cars will be allowed to leave Salmon Ridge Sno-park when the Sweep Van has passed the parking lot. If you are getting picked up at Salmon Ridge Sno-Park, your ride will need to turn into the lot and pick you up in the parking area. Cars will not be allowed to stop and load runners on the highway at Salmon Ridge Sno-Park.
