PARKING INFORMATION
Public Parking: Public parking is in lots to the
north of Cattleman Road, across from Regatta
Island. Parking is $5 per car. Because of the
number of cars anticipated, please consider
parking elsewhere and taking a SCAT bus to the
University Town Center transfer station, which is
just north of NBP along North Cattlemen Road.
Access to the boat park area: There are no parking
facilities in the boat park area, but parking will
be available nearby. All participants arriving
with boats will receive a one-time admission to
the boat park area to unload their boats. The
admission is valid exclusively for the boat trailer.
After unloading boats, you may store trailers
at the boat park. Volunteers will be available to
help you park your trailer.
PAYMENTS AND PURCHASES
Official Currency: Please note the single and official
currency is the United States Dollar.
Automated Teller Machines: Located near the bar.
During the event, all food and beverage payments
on-site can be made with debit cards or credit
cards using the official currency. Payments may also
be made with the paper and coin dollars.
IDENTIFICATION
All participants must bring a copy of an ID or
passport. The copy must be carried as a means
of identification at all times, including in the boat
during racing. It may be checked for safety reasons
at any moment. There will be spot checks on the
outgoing and incoming pontoons. No medal will
be awarded without identification. Please note it
is mandatory to verify your name, date of birth,
gender and nationality before being allowed to race
