Dear Adrenalin Participants,

It’s hard to believe that another year has passed and that we’re finalizing all the details for the 19th running of the 24 Hours of Adrenalin.

During the past off season, we’ve worked hard to launch some new programs that will enhance the participant experience and from your past participant survey responses, we know that these enhancements will only serve to improve your experience.

Our major launch came in two phases. We took the decision to leave the ‘registration systems to the experts’ and contracted MS1 Inscription, to run our registration system. Due to the complexity of the event, we had to launch this in two phases, the first in July 2014 and the second just this past January. Of course, for our 2016 event, the registration system will be up and running in its entirety, right after this year’s event, as planned.

2015 marks the 19th running of the 24 Hours of Adrenalin in Canmore. 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.

The following pages provided are an overview of areas for this year’s event. We are excited to have announced a number of new partnerships and have a couple significant ones still to be announced.

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 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 2015 event.

All the very best ,

Stuart Dorland & Maria Deotto– Founders: 24 Hours of Adrenalin

2015 OVERVIEWAs the founders, it’s our goal to provide you with a fun safe and well-organized event. We can only do so with the great support of a team of people who will be out there doing there very best to meet your needs.

Building on the feedback of our survey and some other elements the event will once again see some great new additions and improvements that build on our foundation ensuring a safe, fair, and fun event.

Here are some of the highlights for this year’s event.

WE ARE PLEASED TO SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING CHARITIES:1. Friends of Kananaskis – We are in the 5th year of our commitment to supporting the trail system

through our Trail Grant, supporting Friends of Kananaskis. Each year we look to review the course and ensure that it is maintained and supported for years to come.

2. 1% for the Planet (www.onepercentfortheplanet.com) – the 24 hours of Adrenalin will donate 1% of our gross revenue for our event in 2015. Friends of Kananaskis, IMBA Canada, Leave no Trace and Wildsmart are also 1% for the Planet members.

3. Leave No Trace (www.leavenotrace.ca) – part of our company’s social responsibility is to ensure that we leave the areas we play in as we found them, or better.

Bow Valley Waste – we continue our partnership up with this company to ensure a Zero Waste Event.

4. The relationship with IMBA Canada that started in 2008 and will continue for 2015. This year, we are excited to have the President of IMBA Canada Lora Woolnar out at our event, promoting the wonderful work that IMBA does. There will also be a fund raising raffle and a chance to win a Thule rack system from Racks Unlimited – so be sure to visit her in the expo area and the IMBA Trail Care Crew.

5. The Right To Play – we are using our 24 Minutes of Adrenalin to bring awareness to this great cause. We are asking for a minimum donation of $10 per child to participate in the 24 Minutes of Adrenalin on behalf of your child. Special bike plates have been produced for each child.

Lets all keep in mind that we are all brothers and sisters during the event, including our crew and volunteers. So we are asking in advance to work with us at every turn.

Good luck with your preparations... safe travels and enjoy the upcoming weekend, – Twenty4 Sports

1. Timing System... we are excited about our continued relationship with MS1 Timing who are experts in accurate and interactive timing chip timing systems.

SOCIAL MEDIADating 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 seems 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 #24hoa2015

After all “The Experience Doesn’t End After 24 Hours”. Please take some time to check it out.

WRISTBANDS – DO NOT LOSE YOUR WRISTBANDA 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. Event 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 Stinger 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.

TIMINGBack for 2015, 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.

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.

Live results can be viewed live online anywhere in the world, at the event on your smart phones and tablets, on TV 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.

NO TOLERANCE RULEOnly 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 will result in the disqualification of the entire team.

MAPSWe 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. Five 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. With the floods of 2013 impacting much of the area, projects were unable to take place, so we do have a reserve fund in place.

IMBA CANADA TRAIL GUARDIAN PROGRAMBack for 2015, 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 BRIDGEPart of improving the course flow a few 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. If you are not comfortable navigating the bridge, there is an area to dismount and walk your bike around the bridge. This would add a few seconds to your time (10–30s), but gives you the opportunity to forgo going over the bridge on your bike.

COURSE MARKINGThe 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/PARKING PLANAttention 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. (A link to this document is emailed to every single participant in the system on Friday, June 19th and is posted on our website.)

CAMPSITES1. 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 and 2 person sites are approximately 200 square feet.

2. All solo competitors and 2-person teams will be camping in a specific area referred to as Solo Pit Row.

3. All other camping sites are clearly marked in specific designated areas.

4. We will have a ‘camping crew’ onsite to assist you in locating your reserved campsite, but please familiarize yourself with the camping map provided.

5. You are responsible to clean up your campsite 100% and this must be considered continually throughout the event. The Conservation Officer will be making hourly rounds of the campsites to ensure, no garbage or food is left unattended. If the site has garbage visible, the entire team will not be permitted to participate.

* 24 Hours of Adrenalin reserve the right to reallocate teams, if necessary.

WASTE REMOVAL We at 24 Hours of Adrenalin are committed to helping to preserve and maintain the wildlife corridor in which our event takes place. While the requirement is to leave your campsite as clean and free of garbage as you found it, we also have a goal for ourselves as an organization to ensure that we minimize our environmental footprint, as much as possible.

To that end, our goal is to limit the amount of garbage that ends up in the landfill by diverting as much as possible to recycling. Knowing our past results, we have assigned for ourselves a goal for 2015 to divert 70% to recycling as we move to an ultimate goal of zero waste. We will be supporting that goal by handing out clear bags at registration.

WE WILL BE ROLLING OUT OUR FULL PROGRAM IN THE WEEKS TO COME. Please be prepared to join us in limiting our impact to the environment, so that we can continue to enjoy and preserve this glorious park system.

NEW MOVE IN / PARKING & SHUTTLE PROGRAMDue to the limited amount of parking at the CNCPP and the volume of people accessing the venue over the 3-day period, it is imperative that 24 Hours of Adrenalin implement a parking plan to both control the influx of people, as well as make the move in process for campers as seamless as possible.

To that end, as in previous years, each team will be permitted to have one (1) vehicle parked at the Nordic Centre. Although corporate teams are given two camping sites, they are still only permitted to have one (1) vehicle in the Nordic Centre parking lot. A ‘vehicle’ is defined as a car, truck, van, camper, or RV.

In the past, teams would have to make an additional stop and pick up their one (1) parking pass at the Palliser Parking lot, across Trans Canada Hwy before heading up to the Nordic Centre. Early this year, we were informed that we were not able to use the parking lot off Palliser Trail, as in years past. Therefore we are NOT able to use that parking lot for 2015.

WE WILL BE PROVIDING A DETAILED PARKING PASS PICK UP PROCESS IN THE COMING WEEKS, but the following process remains the same as in previous years:

1. Move in for all teams is from Friday July 17th at 9:30am – 11:00pm and from Saturday July 18th at 8:00am – 11am. Please note if you show up outside of these hours, you will be denied entry. Absolutely no Thursday evening move in!!

2. As in previous years, all teams are permitted to have ONLY ONE (1) vehicle parked at the Nordic Centre. A ‘vehicle’ is defined as a car, truck, van, camper, or RV. Each team will receive a parking pass that must be placed on the driver side windshield, inside the vehicle. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE!

3. Any vehicle found on-site without a parking pass will be towed at the owners’ expense. Front Gate Access times will be as follows: Friday 9:30 am -11 pm Saturday 8 am- Sunday at 2 pm

4. Finally, we will also be providing a passenger ‘shuttle’ service from Downtown Canmore in order to support those without parking passes, to access the event. LOOK FOR SHUTTLE PICK UP/DROP OFF AND SCHEDULE, TO COME.

5. 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

Please plan ahead and coordinate your move in with your team.

CAMPGROUND ETIQUETTEPlease bring extra garbage bags. There will be designated drop off / pick up points for garbage throughout the weekend. This is a wildlife corridor and no food or garbage must be left unattended at your campsite at anytime. We will be collecting garbage and recycling throughout the event as well in order to help keep your area clear of all garbage. You are responsible for keeping your camp area as clean as you found it.

WE LOVE DOGS, HOWEVER:Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times throughout the weekend! Dogs are not allowed in the transition / expo areas of the event, also dogs are not permitted on the passenger shuttle.

GENERAL CAMPGROUND GUIDELINES Campground A

RV camping only (i.e. large campers & motor homes). There will be one RV vehicle allowed per site in this campground.

All Other Campgrounds

Please refer to the outlines on the web site.

Disclaimer: 24 Hours of Adrenalin will endeavor to place you in your desired campsite. However if weather or related issues from the CNCPP take place we reserve the right to move your site.

WAITING LIST / MESSAGE BOARDAs teams continue to evolve (yes even in these last few weeks) we suggest that you take advantage of our online message board located on the website www.24hoursofadrenalin.com

INCREASED FLEXIBILITY,HOWEVER LATE FEES COULD APPLYAll team information must be completed online before Tuesday, July 14th at NOON. The new registration system provides almost an extra week to fill in your team information. This includes completed team rosters, volunteer shift and campsite selection, waivers accepted and captaincy assigned. Any outstanding information after this date will result in a late fee. All team captains must pay any outstanding balances before 9pm on Tuesday before the event. There will be no exceptionsto this onsite.

WAIVERS – EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ AND SIGN WAIVERS.The “Insurance Waivers” must be signed online. Those under the age of eighteen can bring a signed waiver to the kit pick up. This process requires you to log into your profile page and electronically agree to the waiver.

All team captains should review its team dashboard, no later than Tuesday, July 14th at noon. Changes can’t be made after Wednesday, July 15th at noon MT online as all the information is down loaded for our timing and registration systems. If a member of your team does not have a waiver signed, please ensure one is signed before heading to kit pick up. Blank waivers will be on hand. Changes requested after the cut off time are subject to a $20 per requested change.

INSURANCEForeign Riders (welcome to Canada eh) riders must show proof of medical coverage at the participant kit pick up. You will not be allowed to participant if you can’t provide proof of medical travel insurance.

Please note that each and every person participating will be required to show Picture ID. For those over the age of 18 that means a Drivers Licence or a Passport. We need to know the person on the course is a registered participant. The cost is $10.00 per person as in years past. Collection will be quicker as the entire kit pick up process will be streamlined in a one step process for each individual. More on event kit pick up later in this document.

TEAM DASHBOARDCaptains take full responsibility for any and all information about their team. Captains are encouraged to reach out to teammates this week to have them review his or her profile. All information must be correct. Participants can update profiles with the exception of Date of Birth, First and Last Names. Onsite it’s the Captains responsibility to check the pre event “Start List” and ensure the team is in the correct category. The Start List will be made available on Friday, July 18th at 12 noon in the Results Tent located in the main expo area.

CATEGORY CHANGES Team Captains have the ability to change the team’s category online. You are able to make Online Category Changes in your Team Dashboard in the MS1 registration site. Changes are for teams looking to move up a category (i.e. 4 person to 5 person or 5 person to corporate category) or moving within a category in the 5 person category (i.e. 5 person open age to 5 person all female etc). Moving up a category will require additional payment but your current registration fee will be applied to your upgrade and you will only be charged the difference between the two categories. There is no charge for changes within the 5 person category to a different subcategory. Solo and 2 person categories cannot be changed.

Please review the rules. They are posted the week before the event on the website. www.24hoursofadrenalin.com

FOOD & BEVERAGEThe onsite food & beverage operation will be open at the main lodge throughout the event. We would like to thank Candice of the Canmore Nordic Centre Food Services for agreeing to open the Café throughout the event, including all night during the actual event.

• Saturday July 19th: 6am till Sunday 21st at 4 p.m. (OPEN ALL NIGHT)

BIKE SERVICEThe 24 Hours of Adrenalin is proud to have our new partner, Velofix Calgary with their mobile service vehicle providing support to our participants.

Velofix is a mobile bike shop service which takes the hassle out of bike repair. With home service calls Velofix eliminates wasted time traveling to and from the bike shop. By booking their Velofix repair online or on their smart phone, customers can plan to meet the mechanic knowing that their bike is first in line for service.

Velofix Calgary will also be teaming up with Racks Unlimited at the event to help build awareness and support for the International Mountain Biking Association in Canada (IMBA Canada).

Come visit them in the expo area.

MERRELL LE MANS STARTThe 24 Hours of Adrenalin has one of the best starts of any event. Riders will run ~400m on the Merrell Le Mans Start. The top male and female to cross under the start finish will win a great gift from Merrell.

CAPTAINS / TEAMS / VOLUNTEERS • Your attendance is required at the Captain’s Meeting (10:30 am on Saturday in front of the stage) to get all the

information about the event.

• Volunteers meeting is directly after the captains meeting in front of the stage at 10:45 am. Thanks again to all the volunteers! : )

ONLINE VOLUNTEER SELECTION SYSTEM Two years ago, we added a new feature based on feedback gained from the off-season survey. Captains were able to pre select your volunteer shift directly online. No longer are volunteers required to line up to make a selection. Selections were on a first come first served basis and were part of the registration selection for 2015. Volunteers need to check in with the Honey Stringer V-Lounge Hosts prior to the volunteer meeting on Saturday morning.

V-LOUNGE PRESENTED BY HONEY STINGER We are once again pleased to have Honey Stringer as the proud new partner of the “Honey Stringer V-Lounge” brought to you by Planet Foods. All volunteers will have access to this lounge area leading up to and following the volunteer’s shift. We can’t run a smooth, fun safe event without the great volunteers and so we approached Honey Stringer to become our partners. Volunteers will have an area that is wristband only access. A place to grab a hot or cold beverage, sit down in a heated tent or on the V-Lounge patio. Volunteers will also have an assortment of Honey Stinger products. The lounge will have two hosts throughout the entire event, plus our two additional crew members assisting with your volunteer shifts. Please note that Volunteers must check in on either Friday (2 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. / 7 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.) or Saturday morning (before 10 a.m.)

You’re shift has been pre selected online, but you must check in to ensure we have you accounted for.

INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANT EVENT KIT PICK UP All running events, granfondo’s, triathlons etc. require the participant to pick up his or her event kit. Our insurance requires us to check for ID of each and every participant. No longer can one person from a team pick up the team’s kit.

In order to facilitate a smooth transition of 1,600 plus participants vs. 300 teams, we are doubling our hours open and adding three times as many crew. Additionally we have streamlined the insurance step, so that it’s just one stop.

• Event Kit Pick Up Hours: Friday Afternoon 2:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. – 9:30 p.m. Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m and 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

• Location is inside the Canmore Nordic Centre just past the café on the main level

BEAR SPRAY REQUIREMENT* All riders must carry Bear Spray as outlined by the Canmore Nordic Centre mandatory rule. To read the official notification to all event directors who are subject to this mandatory rule, go to the following link.

NEW THIS YEAR –TRIALS RIDERRYAN LEECHWhile Ryan began racing cross-country mountain bikes at age 14, he became increasingly involved in trials riding throughout the mid 90’s. At 16, Ryan became one of the youngest trials riders and is now a legend in the field. He has performed across North America and has made several appearances in mountain biking films. In 2006, Ryan created a school program called Trials of Life, that essentially combines his regular action trials show with an inspirational message oriented towards children. We’re very excited to have Ryan at our 24 Hours of Adrenalin event.
