Once again, W.O.W. is pleased to present to you the 11th Annual Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous 24 Hour Race. Instead of striving for bigger, we have decided to stress quality and the care of our participants. We intend to treat you like you are "Rich & Famous"!!! Fun, and a few trophies and prizes, are the main goal.

The whole idea is to have a nice, laid back race. Lots of hype and huge crowds is not what we are after. We are only trying to achieve fun.

Every team gets a roof over their head - no tents, no trailers, none of that. Everyone gets fed amazing food. Typical food was a fajita lunch and a pasta dinner, a pancake breakfast and a roast chicken dinner at the end of the race. Leave your Coleman stove at home! We also include a light breakfast on Saturday Morning for those who arrive on Friday night. That's 5 meals included with the race.

We will not require you to provide "volunteers"! If you want to help us out, great, or if you want to sleep that's okay too! Only 18 teams of 4 will be accepted (Men, Women & NEW FOR 2010 MIXED - 2 MEN & 2 WOMEN), plus 14 solo racers and NEW FOR 2010 - 10 pairs teams (2 racers, 1 at a time for 24). Just over a 100 racers in total. No crowd scene.

We feel this should be an exclusive club for the participants. The "Rich & Famous" Club. Imagine. Only a small number of racers are on course at one time. Wonderful trails. Great food cooked for you. Coffee available day and night. A really great event souvenir. Warm rooms. Real beds. Showers. Indoor toilets. The idea is to have fun on your bike. W.O.W. will take care of the rest. We want to reduce the stress for everyone. Mountain biking isn't about stress - it's about fun. That's the idea for the whole Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous.

The event format is conventional. Arrive by 10:30am on Saturday May 22nd. Race starts at noon. Race for the next 24 hours. Have a big meal and kick back and relax at the end of it all. If you want to, you can show up on Friday evening, just realize that there will not be any food available.

Teams - $800 for a 4 person team with a helper. Payment includes food AND swag for one helper. A $250 deposit is requested, with the balance on April 1, 2010.

Each team gets their own rustic cabin with one exception. We have two cabins that are large enough to sleep two teams each in very large rooms. If you'd like to share one of these large cabins with another team that you know, love and tolerate, please let us know.

Solo - $175. A $90 deposit is requested, with the balance due on April 1, 2010. Solo riders are limited to a maximum of 2 helpers. Cost for these helpers is to be determined (this gives them all meals and room privileges). Solos have accommodation in rooms in the Field Centre. This is a gorgeous building, but it is a few hundred metres from the Start/Finish, BUT it is right on the race course. Solo riders and their helpers have access to a large common area in a big cabin next to the Start/Finish.

NEW FOR 2010 - Pairs - $350. A $100 deposit is requested, with the balance due on April 1, 2010. The Pairs category is an open category. 2 men, or 2 women, or 1 man and 1 women. It doesn't matter. Pairs have accommodation in rooms in the Field Centre. This is a gorgeous building, but it is a few hundred metres from the Start/Finish, BUT it is right on the race course.

Accommodations - You will have to bring your own sleeping bag, pillows, towels, etc. Shower facilities are readily available.
A Food Ticket policy is in place for all racers and helpers. Food will be available for spectators only if feasible.
