Sand Storm III FAQ’s
Race Information
Q: We are going to do the long course and ropes seem fun, but I'm afraid of heights (don't tell anyone!). Is there an alternative for my case?
A: We won't force you to do anything you are uncomfortable with...EVER. There will be a walk around, but it's not as fast and we will add a TBD penalty minutes to your finish time.
Q: The single track and MTB legs in SSI and SSII were a blastie! How is this one shaping up?
A: We are pumped about this section and feel that the MTB leg alone will be worth it's weight in gold. And it weighs at least 5 lbs. Do those calculations!
Q: What are the prices and when can I register?
A: OK, that was TWO questions, but we'll let you get away with it....for now. Prices have been published and we just opened early bird registrations! Sign up here!
Q: How will you incorporate Trekking and Orienteering into SSIII? Anything like you have done the last 2 races?
A: Great question. We'll plead the 5th. Next question!
Q: We are a 4 person team. Again?!? And no Solos on the long course?
A: Yes, again. Race as 2 teams of 2 members each. It will be no different! Well, you will have to decide who beats the other when you all get to the finish line, but hey, it will lead to an exciting finish! We are still mulling over having a solo division for the Long Course and are still leaning towards no. We dare you to try and talk us out of it.....DOUBLE DOG DARE.
Q: You know we have to ask. Time cut-off at the end? Optional legs??
A: No options and no finish time cut-off. BOO YA We are in it for the log haul.
Location Information
Q: Where will Sand Storm III take place?
A: Somewhere in Tucson, Arizona. Stay tuned as we will reveal hints and clues (pics/videos) until a week before the race, where we will announce the official location on our website.
Q: We don’t feel like camping. Any hotels that are close or that you can hook us up with?
A: Yup! We will make sure there are options. We will release details as the time nears!l
We will be adding more to the FAQ's as we go along, but remember, we can’t think of them all! If you have any other questions, don't be shy. Throw them in the comment field below and hit "ADD". We will get to them as soon as we can!
