Course Information:

Equipment:  

Kayak:    Bring your own kayak or canoe if you have one, or you may contact one of our race sponsors "Boulder Dam Canoe & Kayak" to rent one.  They have provided us with a great rate for a kayak rental.  $20 includes the kayak, paddle and life jacket.  They have also agreed to provide access to the boats from 4-6pm on Saturday if you'd like to get familiar with the equipment before the race.

Bike:    You will need a bike capable of "off-road" use.  This is a not an "extreme" course, you will not have to cross logs or anything too "technical".  However, a road bike with skinny tires will not handle the off-road terrain very well.  Also, if the conditions are wet, an off-road tire will perform much better.

Run:    A good pair of running shoes is all that is required here.  Some may prefer "trail running shoes" that offer greater stability for off-road terrain.  You will be running mostly on hiking trails, there may be loose dirt, gravel or even mud so plan accordingly. 

Equipment Security: Racer's equipment are the responsibility of the racers. The Rochester Eco Tri and/or Camp Victory are not responsible for any equipment left unattended. However, the Rochester Eco Tri and 10K Trail Race along with Camp Victory will provide moderate security for your equipment.  

Kayaks: If you want to bring your Kayak in the day before, there will be a cable lock system at Fisherman's Inn (starting point). The cable will run through all kayaks and be padlocked.  The Race Director will hold the key and it will be unlocked first thing race day morning when staff/volunteers are present.

Bikes: Bikes are welcome to be left within the corral/transition area at Camp Victory the day before.  There is no further security for bikes.  The front gate to the camp property will be closed over night.
