About Us
Below you will find details specific to our 2010 Seattle event. We will continue to add information. Check here the week before the event for updates.
Event Center
The 2010 Seattle Night & Day Challenge event center will be at All Pilgrims Church, in the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The address is 500 Broadway East, Seattle, WA 98102-5024.
The course will once again provide a great tour of most of the city, especially for teams in the 7-hour or 16-hour events.
As mentioned in the rules, travel through parks
during closing hours is prohibited. Most parks are closed
between 11:30 p.m. and 4:00 a.m., but some have
different closing hours. The course has been designed such
that it will not be a big incovenience to navigate
around parks while they are closed. Myrtle Edwards Park
and Green Lake Park are open 24 hours.
A few checkpoints may be inside parks, businesses,
and other places that are closed at night.
You may visit these checkpoints
only during the hours listed on the question sheet.
The map will be on two or three 11"x17" sheets of paper with a fair
amount of overlap.
As usual, maps will be at 1:35,000 scale. You can order a set of larger
scale maps (1:25,000, close to the scale of the original
USGS map and also our usual Street Scramble scale) for an
additional $10.
The question sheet, as stated elsewhere in the website, will be
a double-sided 8.5" x 14" sheet of paper. One side will have the questions
for the checkpoints on one map page or geographic area, and the other side will have
the questions for the checkpoints on the other.
You will be allowed to leave your stuff with us during the race.
If you are in the duathlon division, see below.
Otherwise,
signage will direct you where to leave your stuff according to
time limit (3-hour, 7-hour, or 16-hour).
We cannot guarantee that your stuff will be safe.
We have not had any theft incidents so far.
It's best if you can store your stuff in a duffle or bag.
The 7-hour transition will be at 7:30 p.m., and
the 16-hour transition will be at midnight.
As stated in the event rules, you are allowed to return to the
event center at any time, but you will not be allowed to leave on
your bikes until the halfway point (7:30 for the 7-hour, midnight
for the 16-hour). There is no penalty for transitioning late.
Shortly before each transition we will try to stage the bikes and tubs
in a convenient location with someone to guard them.
If you don't find your bikes and gear when you return, ask a staff person for assistance.
Refreshments will be available during your transition.
Your gear and bikes will be in a staffed area at all times.
However,
we cannot guarantee that your bike will be 100% safe.
You may wish to bring a lock
to prevent anyone from riding off with your bike when we
are not looking. We have had no theft incidents so far.
