Transition
Areas
There
are usually two or three transition areas, during a race.
During Urban and Enduro races (one day races)
the duties are limited to loading or unloading bikes or canoes,
separating bikes so teams can find them. Transition Areas
can also be Check Points in which case, all the standard Check
Point tasks must be done as well, or volunteers may only have
to mark teams off the Team Number List as they pass through
the TA.
The transition areas for Overnight races are a much
busier locations; teams often have support crews to assist
them. These crews set-up warm, dry areas for each of their
teams, cook food for them, cheer them on and supply their
team with the necessary gear for the next stage. The Adventure
Racing staff and volunteers at these areas, also set up dry
areas, cook food and supple items to the teams that do not
have support crews.
