Waivers & Blue Sheets

Team captains must bring a completed and signed waiver for each member of their team in order to pick up their race package on the Tuesday (Whitehorse) or Friday (Haines Junction) night prior to the event (see Itinerary schedule for details).

The waiver is available at the bottom of this page for download.

A "Blue Sheet" (which is blue) will be in each race package.  Teams fill in which rider actually rode each leg and their approximate times.  KCIBR uses these as a back up in case a timing stick does not record a time at a checkpoint.  Blue Sheets MUST be handed in within 30 minutes of the leg 8 rider crossing the finish line in Haines for teams to be considered for category awards and for Officials to consider any Queries, Disputes or Protests.
