Question 5

Is parking available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. • Mandatory parking fee: $20 • Cash only • On-site parking attendants will direct vehicles.

Question 6

What if I only want to do the Hurricane Heat 24 Hour?

Accepted Answer

In this case, you only need to register for the H3X Ticket Type. The Hurricane Heat 4 Hour and Hurricane Heat 12 Hour participants will be with you until their events conclude and then you will carry on. Good luck!

Question 7

If I sign up for the Hurricane Heat 4 Hour, can I modify my event duration after I get there?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you feel like you have more in you at the completion of the Hurricane Heat 4 Hour or Hurricane Heat 12 Hour and you want to continue, you will be allowed to carry on and will be charged the small up-charge at the end of the event. You may also upgrade your event online beforehand for a much quicker registration.

Question 8

Will I get the medal of the tier below if I continue, but do not complete it?

Accepted Answer

No. Participants must make the decision to continue and complete the next tier, or risk losing everything. For example, if the participant makes it through the Hurricane Heat 4 Hour and Hurricane Heat 12 Hour, but fails the Hurricane Heat 24 Hour, they will receive nothing. Anyone is welcome to stop at any time after one tier is complete and they will receive that tier&#x27;s finisher items, but they may not continue. Think of it like running a marathon. Completing 18 miles and quitting doesn&#x27;t get you a half marathon. It simply means you came 6.2 miles short of finishing the marathon and so go home empty-handed.

Question 9

If I complete all three tiers, will I get three medals, hexes, and shirts?

Accepted Answer

No. Participants only collect medals and shirts for successful completion of the highest tier they go for. So, for example, if a participant completes the Hurricane Heat and goes on to the Hurricane Heat 12 Hour and completes that, they will receive only the Hurricane Heat 12 Hour items. If they continue and do all 24 hours, they will receive only the Hurricane Heat 24 Hour items.
