In addition, each entry requires a $100 refundable trash deposit which will be refunded after the race if the crew does a good job cleaning up their site and leaving it better than they found it (please take before and after photos of your site). During the registration process, please indicate your preferred refund method (either via Zelle or physical check sent in the mail).

Registration Instructions:

• CDBA teams: Please have your primary POC submit the team registration and pay the registration fees. This POC will be the individual who will receive communications from the race organizers.
• Non-CDBA teams: If your primary POC has registered/renewed their account this year, simply have them submit the team registration and pay the registration fees. If your primary POC has not registered/renewed this year, please have them create an account (select "Race Registration Only: non-CDBA Adult/College/Youth" member type) in order to submit the team registration and pay the registration fees. If you need assistance, please contact membership@cdba.org.
• NOTE: Registration is NOT complete until payment is received.  We highly recommend paying through RevSport directly (credit/debit card) for immediate payment confirmation. If you send a physical check, your registration is not considered complete until the check is received and cashed (which will take some time).
• NOTE: All CDBA steers people must be certified through CDBA (with red cards).
• Once your team is registered, your primary POC will receive further information via email about how to handle online waivers and manifests.

Our goal is to create a fun, competitive event for our youth paddlers. If you have questions, please get in touch with the NCIDBF Race Directors (ncidbfracedirector@cdba.org).

Refund Policy: Registration fees are refundable and transferrable until August 2nd, minus a 25% administrative fee. After that, registration fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.
