Each participant is required to bring:

  • 1 x 27-gallon storage crate (pictured right) with a limit of 50 lbs. These are priced between $20-30 at any Walmart, Home Depot, etc, and this size of crate is REQUIRED. Our luggage trucks only work if we can stack your belongings!

  • Riders are allowed to bring a soft-shell backpack or small duffel bag in addition to their crates, if needed.

We will weigh your crate this year!

Riders over the weight limit will be charged $50 for excess.

We want you to be comfortable, but we have to set some limits to ensure our staff can load and unload the trucks safely every day.
