  Racers must be familiar with all information outlined on the EX2 Adventures website and any update emails sent to team captains prior to race weekend.

• All team members must be present at each checkpoint in order to proceed.
• An epunch timing system will be used in this event. At each checkpoint, you will find an epunch box and be required to ‘epunch’. The Epunch timing system requires that each team carry a small electronic key. When inserted into the epunch box, this electronic key will store the time/location at each checkpoint. The data on your epunch key will be downloaded at the finish line to provide results, CPs found, the order of CPs found, and your split times. You will receive your team-specific epunch key at check-in. A demonstration of the epunch system will be provided at check-in.
