Bus Captains

REVEL Rockies is seeking Bus Captains for race morning transportation. A Bus Captain's role is to act as the navigator for their respective bus driver to ensure the timely arrival of buses to the start lines. You will be provided directions to load into your phone to navigate from Bandimere Speedway along I-70 to the start line.

Marathon Captains need to report by 3:00am and Half Marathon Captains need to report by 3:30am at Bandimere Speedway. For your efforts, you will receive a REVEL Rockies pint glass, which can be redeemed at the Merchandise tent after the race. To confirm your spot as a Bus Captain please reply to this email.

Expo

The REVEL Rockies Expo & Packet Pick-Up is located at the Steinhauer Field House on the Colorado School of Mines Campus. All parking is free but NO STREET PARKING is available, you must park in the designated lot. Please use the map below for reference.

A photo ID is required to pick up your race bag. We will allow individuals to pick up someone else's bag but will require a digital or hardcopy of the person's ID and a written note authorizing them to do so. Unless you have pre-purchased Race Day Packet Pick-Up, bag and shirt pickup will not be available the morning of the race.

Hours

Saturday, June 2: 10:00am-6:00pm

Location

The School of Mines has one address for their entire campus so please do not put it in your GPS. The Expo is located at 13th and Maple Street. Use this Google Maps link for specific directions from your location.

Parking & busing

Because REVEL Rockies is a point-to-point route, we will bus you from the finish line to the start line. Your bib is your ticket to board the bus. Due to road closures and participant safety all runners must take the buses the morning of the race. You may not park or be dropped off at the start lines.

Race parking is available in the Island Lot which is located directly across from Bandimere Speedway at 3051 S Rooney Rd, Morrison, CO 80465. Please take the Morrison Road (Highway 8) Exit off of C-470. All parking is free.

All buses will depart from the Island Parking Lot. Marathon buses will load from 3:30 to 4:15 AM and Half Marathon buses will load from 4:15 to 5:15 AM. Please make sure that you are on time and that you get on the right bus! Staff will be on hand to help direct runners and ensure that parking and busing runs smoothly.

Spectators will also park at the same location as runners. From approximately 6:00 AM to 12:30 PM there will be a continuous shuttle between downtown Morrison and Bandimere Speedway, where spectators can take the bus to the finish line. This will also be the same shuttle finishers and spectators can take back to their vehicles.

Aid stations

All Aid Stations will be equipped with water, Powerade Lemon Lime, restrooms and basic medical supplies. In addition some aid stations will include Honey Stinger (Gold, Fruit Smoothie, and Strawberry Kiwi-caffeine), fruit, a frozen treat, doTERRA Deep Blue and medical personnel (see aid station map below).

**Any personal belongings dropped at aid stations or anywhere along the course will be donated to charity.**

Bag Drop

You will receive a race bag when you pick up your packet at the expo. This bag is for you to take to the starting areas. A number that matches your race bib will be attached to your race bag. This is to identify your bag at the finish area after the race, and you will need your bib to prove ownership of your bag when you pick it up. Please carry any belongings to the starting area in this bag, as opposed to any other personal bags, which cannot be identified by your race number. Bags must be placed in the bag trucks at the starting areas at least 15 minutes prior to the race start.

Important: Ensure your bag is secured tightly and do NOT place personal items or anything that you cannot afford to lose in your bag. REVEL will not be responsible for lost items.

**Any personal belongings dropped at aid stations or anywhere along the course will be donated to charity.**

Timing & bibs

The races will be chip-timed using timing tags adhered to the back of your bib. Your time will begin when you cross the starting line and stop when you cross the finish line. Overall prize winners (top 3 in each race) will be determined by gun time, not chip time. Please do not tamper with the timing chips, as they cannot be replaced once linked to your bib number.

Because the timing tag is adhered to the back of your race bib, it is important that you do not cover your bib with clothing or other objects that may interfere with the tag reader when you are crossing the start and finish lines. Furthermore, in order to ensure that race volunteers, officials, and photographers can properly identify you, you must wear your bib on the front of your person in an unobstructed position. If the photographers along the course cannot see your bib number, we will have no way to get your photos to you.

finish line festivities

Once you cross the finish line, stick around and enjoy the exciting atmosphere at the finish. Runners will be greeted with pizza, delicious Kneaders french toast, and doughnuts from The Dapper Doughnut as you celebrate your achievement with friends and family. Check out the vendor booths, get a photo in front of our beautiful backdrops, listen to some great music, enjoy an ice cold beer from Lagunitas (must have Photo ID), and give a hand to the rest of the runners coming in.
