family rather than MRSST have two lodging
options once arriving at the race site.

Special 4 athletes can room with their
teammates and travel to and from the race site
with the team.

to room together at the same, or a different site as

making sure they have picked up their race bib
and lift ticket and know where and when to meet
the team at the race site.

a per diem van charge of $12.50 per day plus
their share of the fuel for the vehicle.

will be billed to each participating athlete before or
