We will be calling teams who registered first, second, etc. So, register your team today to get the time slot you prefer.
(If your team is more than 10, you can arrive at the same time, but must break out in groups of 10 when you arrive and park at Sharpe).
Where is parking? This year, parking is at Sharpe Reservation. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier to your plunge time. We suggest teams come in groups. So, please setup a place and time to meet and then drive up to Sharpe together.
Are we adhering to COVID regulations: YES!
