there to welcome you.

We encourage you to bring a supporter to cheer you on, take photos, and look after your personal belongings. If you don’t have someone to watch your items while you’re floating, a designated
tent will be available near the finish line where you can leave your bag. Please note that all
personal belongings are stored at your own risk.
The Ch7 Children’s Research Foundation raise funds via the registration fee for this event, we do
not ask participants to fundraise on behalf of the foundation.
