The cox meeting for our entire team is at 7:15 at the finish line tent. That means everyone needs to be on the road by 5:00 AM.

 

It is 114 miles to Lake Natoma. Parking will be a nightmare. Be calm and relaxed. If you end up in Shuttle parking, no worries. Just drop off your athlete at the park gate, go to the shuttle lot and you will have plenty of time to get back.

All crews will launch from the finish line area. There is a $10 per vehicle parking fee imposed by the State Park. The State Park gates will open at 0600. Trailers and trailer tow vehicles are free with HOA parking permit obtained at the

Aquatic Center. Car toppers must pay the State Park fee. Additional parking is available offsite.

All boats will launch 45 mins before their race time.

Stanford race schedule is as follows. Complete race schedule here.
