Opening Ceremony Updates:
We said you were NOT going to want to miss this - a night you will never forget! We welcome all of you to join us at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art (The Great Hall) on Saturday, April 6th at 3pm for an opening ceremony celebration and exclusive screening of Arthur The King.
We’ll start the event with a red-carpet, fit for a Hollywood premiere, then head into our Opening Ceremony. The evening will include a conversation with Mikael Lindnord (portrayed by Mark Wahlberg in the film) before watching the film together.
Be on the lookout for ticket information in your email next week - tickets are free, but we need an accurate headcount for this one! You all deserve this evening and we are so excited to have this memorable experience alongside you before the race!
Early Arrivals:
For teams that elect to arrive before April 6th, we will be able to provide complimentary shuttle transportation from XNA National Airport to Bentonville beginning on April 4th – but not sooner. Teams arriving before April 4th will be responsible for securing their own shuttle transportation from the airport. Please make sure we have your up-to-date travel details as requested in the Racer Information Form so we can plan team pick-ups accordingly. For accommodations, we are not able to extend additional complimentary room nights before April 6th, and the host hotel/Race HQ is sold out before April 6th. That said, we have identified a secondary property that teams are welcome to book on their own and at their own cost, but have secured a very friendly rate of $129/night for April 4th and April 5th at: Hyatt Places Rogers/Bentonville
4610 West Walnut Street
Rogers, Arkansas 72756 US You can call their main phone number at +1 (479) 633-8555 and use group code OZFD to secure the room rate. On Saturday April 6th you will be able to move to the host hotel and Race HQ identified in pre-race communication and stay until 8 April (race day!) at no additional cost to the team.
Race FAQ:
Just as we did last year, we will start to populate questions we have been asked on the Expedition Ozark website. Questions answered will be uploaded on the website to make sure all teams have the same information provided.
One common question is related to paddle bags:
// A team of 2 will have 1 (max) paddle bag that will show up at each TA that has a paddle bag noted on the schematic.
// A team of 3 will have 2 (max) paddle bags that will show up at each TA that have a paddle bag noted on the schematic.
// A team of 4 will have 2 (max) paddle bags that will show up at each TA that have a paddle bag noted on the schematic. We can truly say see you soon! We are so excited to share another amazing experience with each one of you!
Happy Trails!
