Event Dates: September 18 - 19, 2010
Registration: Open
Pre-Riding
The Falcon Trail is on USAFA property and therefore open to the public. There are no event sanctioned pre-rides. We strongly encourage participants to resist the temptation to pre-ride the Falcon Trail during the week of 9-12 to 9-17-2010 to give it a break and us a chance to set up.
Packet Pick-up
All participants and volunteers must have their race packets and complete the registration process in order to be allowed onto the Air Force Academy. Packet Pick-up will be at Ascent Cycling on September 15th with the following schedule:
4pm-8pm, September 15th
12noon-8pm, September 16th
12noon-10pm, September 17th
Pre-Race Meeting: TBD
Academy Access
All participants, volunteers, and staff will receive appropriate levels of access in their Race Packets. USAFA Security will issue an Event Pass to each person who is of?cially signed up for the event through registration. Without the Event Pass individuals will have limited or completely restricted access to the Academy. This is especially critical is re-entry to the Academy is needed after 6pm on Sept. 18th.
Camping
One of the best parts about a 24 Hour event is the camping. Please be sure to follow these rules:
• All state and federal laws must be closely followed. Alternative choices will ensue spending time with Military Police, which is not pleasant and does not produce good race results.
• While camping, if a grill is used it must be closely supervised. “Leave no trace” ?re-pans are the only option to a grill and must be kept incredibly clean.
• Low impact camping and participation in the event is absolutely critical. While on course, the Race Village, or in the camping areas; please keep our federal lands clean!
