On-Event Support
Need some support to help you conquer the Untamed? We have a few optional on-event extras available that will help get you through...
Returning riders swear by the massage package, as well as the race nutrition service if you do not have your own support at the race. We recommend bringing at least three sets of kit, but if you like that fresh clothes feel, check out the on-site laundry service who will make sure your kit looks fresh every morning, even if you don't.
It is important to note that each of the below packages are allocated per rider, not per team. Therefore, 2 of any of the below packages will need to be purchased if both team members would like these services.
Laundry Service
The laundry service includes:
- 1 x laundry bag
- 6 x wash & dry
The process on event
If you pre-purchased the laundry service, you will receive a laundry bag in your rider bag at registration. Late bookings are accepted and can be purchased at Registration or Stage 1.
- Laundry must be checked-in and collected in the official laundry bag provided
