At 0700, the team must be lined up from youngest to oldest (either direction) in front of the concrete walkway pictured below. They must have their gear precisely laid out in the sand as described earlier. Attention to detail can make this easy or a living nightmare.

As you can see, this is right in front of the parking area listed as our meetup point/checkpoint. Just a heads up... If you can consolidate your checkpoint gear and any others into a single car, PLEASE DO SO. Although we're getting there early, parking is still limited and it cuts down on the chaos. There are restrooms right by the area as well as drinking fountains.

Bring extra water however to help refill, unless you want to gamble on the drinking fountains not working and having to refill your water from the bathroom sink.

There will be an optional bonus lap to those who wish to partake in this area at 0640.

area highlighted here, in case it still wasn't clear yet.

This is probably the last bit of participant-worthy info. The rest of the posts from here on out may just be for spectators.

Probably.
