Race Resources
Every Valkyrie event has race-specific rules, procedures and participant requirements. The Race Bible for each race and year is published here once it is approved. Always verify that you are using the current edition for your race.
What a Race Bible contains
The Race Bible
The controlling rules: race procedures, participant obligations, timing, penalties, safety requirements and competition standards. If a rule is in dispute, this is the document that governs.
The Athlete Guide
Practical preparation: schedules, arrival details, parking, packing lists and race-week logistics. It helps you get ready. It does not govern the race.
