CANADA ULTRAMAN

GENERAL GUIDELINES

www.ultramancanada.com

Age Groups
For the purpose of age group standings, the finishing field will be subdivided into ten-year age groups, based upon the athletes’ age at December 31st. Separate divisions for men and women will be provided. Age Group prizes will be at the discretion of the organizers. All participants must have reached their 21 birthday by December 31st.

Aid Stations
Since the use of support teams is required throughout the event, aid stations will not be provided for by event officials. Water and limited toilet facilities may be available at the start/finish lines of each stage; however, athletes and crews should not rely on such facilities being readily available.

Application Process
Applications will be accepted up to and including January 31st of the event year. Applications received after that date will only be considered if: (a) space is available in the event for that year or; (b) to be added to the waitlist.

Applications will be categorized into the following categories: First Timers, Veterans and Former Crew & Volunteers. The Application Review Committee will review the applications to determine the category and to ensure qualification standards have been met. Thus, the information that is provided by the applicant within the application will be crucial. Special emphasis will be placed on the applicant’s endurance activities to date, and the demonstrated ability to finish all three stages. Specific details of qualification will be issued in the Official Application Kit for the event. At a minimum, the applicant must have finished an iron distance event in the previous Calendar Year to the Ultraman Event being applied for; and the finishing time for the qualifying race is under 14 hours and 30 minutes. Events that consist of distances that are of at least iron distance in some disciplines but not all three may be considered when combined with other events that contain at least the iron distance of the discipline missing from the first event.

Awards
Each “Finisher” will receive a distinctive award. Only athletes who have made each cutoff and completed all portions of the course will be designated as a “Finisher”. Each “Participant” will receive an award. Any athlete who does not reach the designated finish line before the cutoff, or has not completed all portions of the course, will be declared a “Participant”. Disqualified athletes are not eligible for any awards. The right to limit or expand the awards, based on the number of entries is reserved. All Awards will be presented at the Awards Dinner the day after the completion of Stage 3 (three). Attendance by athletes, crews, friends and family to the Awards Banquet is HIGHLY recommended as the format is unique to Ultraman, and this completes the Ultraman experience. This is an interactive function with a large degree of participation by all in attendance.

Bike Equipment Inspection
As part of the pre-event preparations, each athlete must have certain aspects of their bike inspected after its arrival in Penticton, and prior to completing the registration process. This inspection may be done by Appointment through Peach City Runners & Adventure Sports (250 – 490 – 3334) and will include all items on the Bike Inspection Certificate included in the Registration Kit. The completed Bike Inspection Certificate must be presented at Registration for any bike including the spare bike and/or frame if applicable, to be used during the event. Athletes will not be allowed to register without the completed Bike Inspection Certificate. Event officials may check each bike again in the transition area of the swim to bike. It is the responsibility of each athlete to ensure that all aspects of their bike are safe to the user, other athletes, team members, officials, and the general public at all times during the event. Any equipment in which the officials deem to be unable to meet minimum standards may not be used until
The problem is corrected. All repairs are the responsibility of the athlete and must be paid upon completion of the work.

Categories
All athletes, whether officially registered by a national governing body as amateur, elite or professional will participate in the age group category.

Check-In Procedure
At the beginning and end of each stage or segment thereof, each athlete and team captain must check in with the event Registrar who will be located adjacent to the respective start/finish line. In addition, at the start of the swim, the swim escort must check-in along with the team captain to the event Registrar. Failure to follow this procedure may preclude further present or future participation in the event.

Communications
Each Team must have an operating cellular telephone. Numbers will be listed and distributed to each crew and event support vehicle. Cellular telephone numbers will be taken at Registration and distributed before the start of Stage 1.

Contingencies
If conditions develop prior to or during the event which necessitate a change in plans, the following action(s), in order of severity, will take place: (1) postponement, (2) course modification, (3) cancellation. If it is unsafe to conduct the swim as scheduled, this portion of Stage 1 may be postponed until the morning following the end of Stage 3. If the event or any portion of it is postponed, modified, or
Cancelled, there will be no refunds.

Course
The responsibility for following the official event course rests with the athlete and crew. No time credits or adjustments in finishing results shall be made for athletes who fail to follow the proper course for any reason. Time penalties or disqualification may result from failure to follow the proper course. Every effort will be made to mark each intersection on the course. Detailed course descriptions and route maps will be made available to each athlete and crew.

Credit Cards
Provisions for payment of event entry fees, additional meal and function tickets, and retail items by credit card are available. Only Debit, Master Card or Visa is acceptable.

Cutoff Times
For safety and insurance reasons, the following cutoff times have been established: Stage 1 Swim – 6 hours plus Stage 1 Bike - 6 hours, Total Stage 1 - 12 hours; Stage 2 Bike – 12 hours; Stage 3 Run – 12 hours (Total Event 36 hours). Any athlete who does not reach the designated finish line before a cutoff will be declared a “Participant” and will be asked to leave the course if they are unable to reach the finish line within 15 minutes after the cutoff time. Athletes may be allowed to continue onto the next stage as a “Participant” only if they cooperate with this request and receive the clearance to do so from event organizers; including medical or monitoring staff if available. Only athletes who have made each cutoff
And completed all portions of the course will be designated as a “Finisher”. The run course has additional cutoffs at 42 KM – 6 Hours, and 63 KM – 9 hours. Athletes unable to make the cutoffs will be asked to leave the course. Any athlete not cooperating with this request will be disqualified and not eligible for
Any awards nor be allowed into any future Ultraman Events. Cutoff times may be modified if course conditions warrant.

Disqualification
Athletes or team members not adhering to the rules and regulations and guidelines of the event are subject to disqualification for the athlete. Disqualified athletes may not continue on any part of the course except at the sole discretion of event organizers. In any case, no disqualified athlete will receive any “Finisher” or “Participant” Awards.

Applicants not successful in receiving an Invitation will have their entry fee refunded less a $120 administration fee including taxes and fees or they may select to stay on the Waitlist. If no Invitation is forthcoming from the waitlist process the refund of the entry fee will be issued at that time less the $120 administration fee. After Invitations are issued the standard Refunds & Withdrawals rules will apply.

Filming
Filming of the event will not be permitted whether for personal or commercial purposes unless prior written authorization is obtained from Event Organizers. Such authorization may be withheld if the filming is in conflict with the granting of other film rights and/or registered logo use.

Insurance
The coverage provided allows for a five million dollar ($5,000,000) limit on a Comprehensive General Liability format. This is one of the broadest liability forms available, in which it insures the race directors, their committees, volunteers and others requiring protection (such as sponsors, public agencies,
Property owners, etc.). The Policy will cover liability from organizing activities leading up to the event, the event itself, and the post-race activities. It will respond to claims from spectators, competitors,
Volunteers and the public in general.

The event does not carry individual Athlete medical insurance, nor does it assume any responsibility for such. It is highly recommended that athletes both Canadian and non-Canadian obtain additional event medical insurance before traveling to the event.

Invitation Process
The Application Review Committee will hold a selection lottery on February 1st of the event year until the event is full – 35 (thirty-five) solo entries. Additional spaces up to a total of 40 (forty) athletes may be considered if demand and circumstances warrant. Each applicant that is issued an Invitation will receive an Official Invitation Kit. Invitations not accepted within 3 (three) days may be considered invalid, and the space released to another applicant.
Special consideration will be given to individuals that have volunteered or crewed in previous Ultraman events; however this will not exclude the need for meeting the qualifying standards as detailed in these Official Guidelines, and will only be considered IF there are more applicants than spaces available in the event.

Special Consideration will be given to individuals whose “qualified application” did not get selected in the previous years’ lottery. However this will not exclude the need for meeting the qualifying standards as detailed in these Official Guidelines, and will only be considered IF there are more applicants than spaces available in the event.

Waitlisted athletes consisting of qualified applications in excess of the event maximum or late applications – received after January 31st, will be advised of their application status. Waitlisted athletes may receive invitations as spaces become available at the discretion of the Application Review Committee.

Language
Each athlete must be able to either (1) speak and understand English or (2) provide a team member who can speak and understand English and act as a translator between the athlete, other team members, and event organizers. The Event Organizers will not be able to provide translation services or provide bilingual team members in most cases; this is an athlete responsibility. Athletes cannot rely on these services being available at the event location.

Limitation of Entries
The starting field will be limited to 35 (thirty-five) solo entries. Entry will be by Invitation Only. Additional spaces up to a total of 40 (forty) may be considered if demand and circumstances warrant, such additional spaces are at the full discretion of the Event Organizers.

Ultraman Canada has eliminated the relay division for the foreseeable future due to the overwhelming interest by qualified solo athletes.

Massage
Massage will be available at the end of each stage. By payment of the entry fee, each athlete is entitled to a massage at the end of each stage (3 massages total). This service is primarily for athletes, but may also be available for a team member if the athlete chooses to forego a massage at the end of a stage. No Credits will be given for unused massages and massages must be done at the designated finish line area of each stage.

Meals
Three meals will be served in connection with the event: (1) Pre-race Breakfast & Race Briefing (Attendance is Mandatory for all athletes and land crew members), held on the day before the start of Stage 1; (2) Ultraman Awards Banquet, held on the day after the completion of Stage 3 (Attendance is not mandatory but is HIGHLY recommended that athletes and crews attend – see Awards Section of these Guidelines); (3) Breakfast in Princeton the morning before the start of Stage 3.

Entry into each function will be by presentation of the appropriate meal ticket or wristband. Each athlete will receive 3 tickets for each meal (1 athlete and 2 land crew). Additional tickets will be made available for ordering with the Official Invitation Package. Unused meal tickets will not receive a credit.

In addition to the above, a small rejuvenation offering will be available at the end of each stage for the athletes. Variety and quantities are limited so if you have special dietary requirements you will need to be self-sufficient. Also, at the end of Stage 3 there will be a finish line pizza party for all to enjoy. We encourage athletes, crews, friends, family, and volunteers to join us for a celebration in the park until the final athlete crosses the Finish Line.

Medical Support, Monitoring and Studies
Emergency medical assistance will not be provided by event officials; nor is any liability assumed for not providing such. Organizers ability to provide on-course medical support is very limited due to the distances involved. Emergency medical contacts and information will be provided to each support crew. Athletes and crew are responsible for reviewing and being familiar with the medical and emergency sections of the race manual. Athletes are responsible for their own medical condition and should be cleared by their own family doctor before competing.

Monitoring of certain indicators may be available during the event. Athletes will be asked to cooperate with the monitoring team so that feedback can be provided to the athlete and crew regarding the athletes’ condition in regard to their continuing the event. Athletes will be asked to provide base line information as well as a check-in and check out procedure for each Stage of the event. The monitoring team will have the authority to withdraw an athlete from the event if the indicators fall outside safe limits, or the athlete refuses to cooperate with the monitoring team.

Administration of IV fluids during any portion of any stage, including the time from the finish of any stage to the beginning of the next stage, will constitute an unfair advantage and result in disqualification or the athlete being declared a “Participant” and not a “Finisher”. Therefore, any fluids used by the athlete must be taken orally. Medical assistance to an athlete, which does not result in the administration of IV fluids or the transport over or removal from the designated course, is not, by itself, grounds for disqualification.

Qualified medical personnel, who may treat an athlete, shall have the final and ultimate authority to remove an athlete from any portion of the event if the athlete is judged to be physically incapable of continuing in the event without risk of serious injury or death.

Independent medical studies may be conducted in conjunction with the event. Participation in these studies will be voluntary.

No Feed Zones
For safety reasons, certain short portions of the land course will be designated “No Feed Zones”. These are areas where the support team is not allowed to accompany the athlete. “No Feed Zones” are monitored by event personnel, who are responsible for athlete safety. It is the responsibility of the Crews to ensure that their athlete is prepared to look after their own hydration, nutritional and minor mechanical problems, including flats, while in the “No Feed Zones”. It is recommended that the athlete carry at least 1 water bottle and 1 spare tube/tire while in the “No Feed Zone”.

Numbering
Swim: Each athlete will have a number marked on the swim cap, which must be worn so that the number is visible. The swim escort must wear the athletes’ official swim number S on the front of the outermost garment or PFD on the body; or on the front of his/her hat so that it is visible to race officials.
Bike: Each athlete will receive two (2) jersey numbers B – one to be worn on the lower back each day, and a frame number to be placed on the bike frame in a visible location so that it can be read from the
side.
Run: Each athlete will be given one number R to be worn on the front so that it is visible at all times. The pacer will be given a ribbon to identify them as a pacer. The ribbon is to be worn anytime the pacer is on the course and must be visible from the front.
Vehicle: Each team will be given two numbers to affix to the crew vehicle. The first V is to be affixed to the
inside lower left (driver’s side) of the back windshield. The second V should be affixed to the inside lower right (Passenger’s side) front windshield. Placing numbers on the outside may interfere with windshield wiper operation and/or be destroyed by rain.

Numbers identify official athletes and teams, and must be clearly visible at all times. Numbers must be worn as directed by event organizers. No alteration of any numbers is permitted.

Pacing
Pacing of the athlete is allowed during the run portion of the event only. However, the athlete may not be paced by more than one non-competitor at the same time. All pacers must be on foot and wear the official number, or designated item, that identifies them as a pacer. No pacer may do any headwind blocking. No bicycles, other wheeled vehicles (whether motorized or non-motorized), may be used for pacing
purposes by the crew or pacers on the run course (this includes the crew vehicle).

Parking
Parking is limited in all staging areas, and is strictly prohibited at the start and finish areas. The event will have certain areas designated for parking, in which an attendant will be present to monitor (specifically at the swim exit); it is imperative that their instructions are followed. In certain stages there may be a volunteer to direct crew vehicles to appropriate parking areas. In any circumstance, all vehicles must be parked legally and safely off any highway or road, and in such a manner that it does not obstruct the normal flow of traffic or create a hazard to anyone. Do not block private driveways, and be courteous if approached to move your vehicle.

Passports, Customs & Immigration
International entrants, including US citizens, will require a valid passport to gain entry into Canada regardless of ports of arrival (land, sea or air). If you are flying into Canada you will be required to go through both immigration and customs at your FIRST port of entry. Make sure you physically claim all of your luggage and your bike at this time. You can re-check the luggage and bike if you have connecting flights to Penticton. Your luggage and bike will not automatically be checked in for your flight to Penticton without clearing customs first.

Penalties
Specific penalties will be levied for infractions and/or misconduct. Such penalties will normally consist of time penalties assessed against the athlete at the end of each stage, with immediate disqualification occurring for major misconduct and/or infractions. The time penalties for Ultra Distance races consist of
6 minutes for the first (1st) infraction and 12 minutes for a second (2nd) infraction. The third(3rd) penalty equals disqualification from the event. The penalties are cumulative for all three days. The Event/Race
Director has the authority, at any time, to overrule any rule or invent a new rule based on extenuating, unforeseen, and/or unusual circumstances and/or to maintain the integrity and fair play necessary for the successful completion, and continuation of the race. The Event/Race Director has ultimate authority in regard to all rules, their interpretation, and their enforcement. All entrants in the event/race and their
support crews willingly acknowledge this fact, as well as all other race rules by attending the race in any capacity.

Personal Property
It is strongly suggested that all personal property be adequately and indelibly identified with the owner’s
name and event number prior to the start of Stage 1. Event officials assume no responsibility for the theft, loss, or destruction of any personal property of any athlete or support team member.

Planning
The absolute necessity of proper planning cannot be emphasized enough. In addition to making the necessary travel plans, it is crucial that each athlete properly informs, trains, organizes and prepares each team member. This includes providing them with copies of pertinent event information, and keeping them up to date on changes. Waiting to accomplish this the day before the event is not advisable. Plan to drive the entire land course before the start of the event. Athletes who are utilizing local residents as team members are urged to be in contact with them as early as possible to make sure all necessary arrangements, including automobiles, lodging, food, swim escort and craft are in place. No one will be permitted to begin any stage without a complete team and the required equipment.

Pre-Event/Race Briefings
There are three (3) separate Event/Race briefings associated with this event which must be attended by the Athlete and the Support Team Captain. Other team members are encouraged to attend, and it is recommended that they do so. Athletes and crews should register before the start of the Pre-Event/Race sessions so they have the Event Manual available during the sessions for reference purposes.

1. Bike Briefing – is held on the Thursday afternoon preceding the start of Stage 1. All aspects of the bike course, rules and regulations, bike safety and maintenance, are reviewed as needed for the event.

2. Run Briefing – is held during the Pre-event Breakfast on the Friday morning preceding the start of Stage 1. This includes reviewing the Run course, Support Team Rules and Regulations and Conduct.

3. Swim Briefing – is held on the Friday afternoon preceding the start of Stage 1. This briefing is broken into two parts: (1) an overview of the Swim Course, rules and regulations, tips and traps to be aware of in the swim portion; (2) athletes and crews go to the swim start (at the beach) to review rescue procedures and the use of a kayak in an emergency situation. It is highly recommended that your swim escort attend this session, especially if they are unfamiliar with kayak rescue.

Prohibited Aid, Equipment & Substances
No athlete will be permitted to use fins, snorkels, paddles or any floatation devise during the swim; likewise, no swim escort will be permitted to use any sail craft or motorized craft or any escort craft less than 10 feet in length. Athletes (and pacers during Stage 3) may not use any device that interferes with normal hearing or provides any independent means of forward motion. No team may utilize more than one support vehicle. No athlete or team member may use any illegal or otherwise banned substances at any time during the any portion of the event. The event is to be drug free throughout. See Rules & Regulations section for more detailed information on Prohibited Aid, Equipment & Substances.

Protests
The Team Captain will be the person responsible for submitting any official protest on behalf of the athlete or team member(s) as the result of misconduct by another athlete or team. Such protest must be in writing and filed within 30 minutes after finishing the stage in which the alleged incident occurred. Event Organizers will provide protest forms if required.

Qualification for Entry
The selection of Invitees will be based upon the experience and other qualifications and criteria of each applicant. At a minimum it is expected that the applicant will have completed at least one iron distance race within the previous Calendar Year to the Ultraman Event being applied for, and that the finishing time for the qualifying race was under 14 hours and 30 minutes.

Events that consist of distances that are of at least iron distances in some disciplines but not all three may be considered when combined with other events that contain at least the iron distance of the discipline missing from the first event.

Refunds and Withdrawals
The deadline for withdrawal with refund is May 31st of the event year. The full entry fee will be charged at the time of Application to the event. Once an Invitation has been issued and accepted and the athlete withdraws from the event (for any reason including medical, personal, travel, family, work, etc.) on or before May 31st of the event year, a refund will be issued less $840 (includes applicable taxes) as an administration charge. Withdrawals received after May 31st will not receive any refund. Request or notification of withdrawal and requesting a refund must be in writing and sent to the Ultraman Canada office so that it is received by midnight (Pacific Time) of May 31st.

Registration
Registration will begin on the Wednesday afternoon and continue on the Thursday morning preceding the start of Stage 1. All invitees wishing to participate must register in person during those times. To pick-up registration material, each invitee is required to present photo identification, Bike Inspection Certificate(s), complete information about his/her team, including name, contact phone number and a signed individual Team Agreement for each team member, as well as the vehicle model/make/license number being used for the race. Race materials will only be issued to those completing the registration process and only those individuals will be allowed to begin Stage 1.

Each athlete will receive via email a “Registration Kit”. The Registration Kit will be available following an athlete’s acceptance of their Invitation. The package will contain the forms, materials and information required for a quick and efficient registration process.

Relay Teams
Ultraman Canada has eliminated the relay division for the foreseeable future due to the overwhelming interest by qualified solo athletes.

Returned Cheques
Any returned cheques will be charged back at an additional $50 to the athlete.

Safety
Safety is THE primary consideration for athletes and their support teams; and following the guidelines and regulations are required throughout the event. This event is extremely strenuous and requires tremendous individual endurance and stamina. The risk of accident, injury, sickness and even death, may be present throughout all three stages. Proper training, well maintained and appropriate equipment, good judgment, respect, common sense and courtesy will be crucial in making this a safe and successful event. If an emergency situation necessitates or causes a rule infraction, event organizers may make allowances in the interest of promoting safety

Special Required Equipment
Athletes will be required to wear/utilize the following special equipment: official swim cap and event numbers as provided by the organizers, ANSI or SNELL approved hard shell helmet and swim escort craft, which must be non motorized and non sail which is a minimum 10 feet in length.

Starting Procedures
At two (2) minutes, one (1) minute and thirty (30) seconds prior to the start of each stage, announcements to that effect will be made. Ten (10) seconds prior to the start, a countdown will begin followed by a starting signal. Prompt starts are a tradition and will be adhered to. It is each athletes’ responsibility to be ready to start at the designated times. No time allowance will be made for athletes not starting as scheduled.

Storage
Storage of athletes’ event related equipment is the responsibility of each athlete and Team Captain. Provision for storage by event organizers before, during, or after the event will not be made, except in the case of swim escort craft. Organizers will do their best to handle the swim escort craft after the swim finish by transporting the craft to a storage area. The craft must be picked up as soon as possible
following the event and the organizers assume no responsibility for any lost or missing items left with the craft. Instructions will be issued at the Prerace Briefing in regard to this item.

Sponsors
Without the monetary, product and service contributions of many individuals and businesses, the staging of this event would not be possible. Special thanks and appreciation are extended to each of them. Whenever the opportunity arises please show your appreciation and patronage.

Support Team
Due to the length and nature of the event, it is mandatory that a support team of at least two (2) adult persons and no more than four (4) adult persons, along with no more than one vehicle/automobile, accompany each athlete throughout all stages of the event. No athlete will be allowed to participate without having a support team. Each athlete is responsible for securing, organizing, and training their support team. Each team member, including the swim escort, will be required to provide complete information, including name, contact phone number and a signed individual Team Agreement. In addition the team member who is designated Team Captain will act as the official spokesperson for the athlete and team and will be required to attend all pre-race briefing session (other members are encouraged to attend as well).

The athlete entry fee will include the cost of event meals and shirts for two (2) land crew, the minimum crew requirement for the event. Additional meals and shirts will be made available with the Invitation Kit.

It is the responsibility of the athlete to cover all the expenses of the Support Team members unless otherwise previously agreed between them.

Land Crew
It is expected that most athletes will bring their own full team (2 adults) or partial team; in fact it is recommended that you do so. If it is not possible for you to bring your own full team, then the organization will do its best to provide a crew or additional crew member. However, do not rely on the organization to be able to provide crews as we receive more requests than we are able to fulfill. The athlete will be responsible for any costs or expenses for the crew member and arrangements for payment must be made prior to the start of the event between the Athlete and crew member. The organization assumes no responsibility for any expenses incurred by any crew member or athlete.

Swim Escort
One support team member may be the Swim Escort and also a member of the Land Crew. If it is not possible for the athlete to bring their own swim escort and support craft, then the organization will do its best to provide an escort and/or craft for a fee. Details will be available in the Invitation Kit.

If an athlete needs help in securing a support team or additional team members, please contact the
Ultraman Race Office at (250) 490 – 3334 or by email: ultramancanada@gmail.com

Support Vehicle
Each athlete must arrange for, or bring and pay for, one (1) automobile to be used as a team vehicle throughout the event. Such vehicle may not be wider than six (6) feet but must be large enough to accommodate all equipment, team members, the Athlete, and all of their needs. For safety reasons, the use of campers, large vans and trucks is prohibited. No team may have more than one vehicle on the course at a time. NOTE: - Mini-vans are recommended.

Swim Escort and Escort Craft
It is mandatory that each athlete be accompanied by an escort and escort craft at all times during the swim portion of Stage 1. One support team member may be the Swim Escort and also a member of the Land Crew. A swim escort that is not a member of the Land Crew will be required to sign a Team Agreement prior to the start of Stage 1. Swim escorts must display the designated official number while on the course in such a manner that it is visible from the front at all times. A non-motorized, non-sail assisted and not less than ten (10) feet in length, escort craft is required (a kayak or one-man canoe is recommended). No athlete will be allowed to start the swim and/or continue the swim without a proper escort and acceptable craft.

Teamwork and Team Conduct
Although this event will be one of individual endurance, no one will be able to finish it without the cooperation inherent in good teamwork. Each support team will be required to provide for their athletes’ needs and must not hinder or interfere with another athlete or team at any time. On the other hand, the underlying philosophy of this event is to encourage and promote the spirit of camaraderie with respect
for all. Therefore, honesty, good judgement and sportsmanship are all integral parts of the event and will be expected of everyone at all times.

Without the Support Team no athlete will be able to compete or continue to compete in the event in the case of a Support Team abandoning the race. No Athlete or Support Team Member shall mistreat or abuse either physically, verbally or mentally anyone connected to the event. No Athlete is to ask any member of any Support Team to take any action that would contravene the Rules and Regulations, Guidelines, or the Spirit of Competition of Ultraman Canada; in doing so would lead to immediate disqualification and removal from the event.

Any Support Team Member or Athlete that feels they have a complaint against any individual is to bring their concerns to the Event/Race Director at the earliest possible opportunity so that it may be dealt with as quickly as possible. Do not wait until the event is over.

Trademark and Event Logos
The event name and logos are registered trademarks, which may not be used or reproduced in any manner without prior written consent from the Event/Race Director. This includes among other things, team shirts or other garments, banners and signs. A logo-licensing fee of at least one thousand dollars ($1,000) will be charged for the logo use. Athletes using the logo without authorization will be levied the one thousand dollar ($1,000) fee and non-payment will result in the athlete not being allowed in this or any other Ultraman Event. Such Marks, as well as selected sponsor logos, may be required to be worn /or displayed by the athlete and team members during certain portions of the event. Notification of such requirements, if any, will be made as part of the registration process. Athletes may make copies of pertinent written materials in connection with preparations for the event; however, such copies are for personal use only and may only be distributed to bona fide team members who may not reproduce them in any manner thereafter.

Travel and Accommodations
All travel arrangements – air, ground, hotel accommodations and meals are the responsibility of each athlete. It is important that plans for travel and accommodation be made well in advance of arrival in Penticton. As the event takes place over the British Columbia Day long weekend, bookings and vehicle rentals must be made well in advance due to the busy holiday weekend. Accommodations in Princeton (end of Day 2) will also have to be booked well in advance as the same situation applies.

A listing of suggested and sponsor accommodations for Penticton and Princeton will be sent with the
Registration Kit.

Unused Items and Extras
There will not be any credits given for unused tickets, massages or other items included in the entry fee. You may order additional meals tickets, massages, crew shirts, swim escort, escort craft, etc. with the Invitation Kit.
