Two Divisions: 

On Foot- each team in this division may not use the assistance of any type of motorized vehicle and or bike to assist in picking up or transporting trash.  The teams will set out on foot from the pavilion and be responsible for returning all team members and collected trash by hand to their designated spot before the time is up.  There are no limits to where you can go, you just must do it on foot. each team is responsible for their own strategy

 

Motorized division- each team is allowed to go to the location(s) of their choosing outside of the 1 mile radius prescribed in the race map. via car/truck collect trash and transport it via truck or small trailer. each team will be allowed one vehicle/trailer back at the pavilion line up.  other cars may park in any space in uptown as available.  the race end for the motorized division will need to have their one designated trash hauler vehicle in the line up beside of the pavilion (signs posted/barricade to thru traffic) and all team members present in their designated space before time end.  Once the time is in and all members are accounted for race staff will dismiss teams in an orderly fashion to retrieve their bags of trash and return them to their designated spots.  official weigh ins will begin once everyone's trash has been unloaded and ready to weigh.  It is important that no motorized division teams bring trash into the pavilion until the race timer has been stopped and teams are dismissed by race director- on foot participants will have their trash already in the pavilion.
