How
to Play & Win
The $30 registration fee is mandatory
for all adult riders & $12 for Kids 12 & Under. The registration fee includes a raffle ticket
& BBQ dinner and
an official
Diabetes Ride T-shirt.
In order to be eligible for one of the prize incentives listed
on this site, you must:
1. Follow the contest
and ride rules;
2. Turn in a minimum of
$175 in collected pledges (cash,
check or money orders) the day of the ride.
The prize received shall depend upon the amount of money actually
turned in to the ride management on
ride day. (See list under RIDE PRIZE INCENTIVES.)
Participants may select only one prize from the categories listed
on the prize panel. Prize selection must be made when the money is
turned in at the ride.
Before
the Ride
Sponsors may make a flat pledge of $10,
$25 or $100 (or any sum of their choice) to support your fundraising on
behalf of Humphreys Diabetes Center & Camp Hodia . This year we ask
that you collect the pledges at that time to have them available to turn
in the day of the ride. Checks should be made out to Idaho Diabetes
Youth Programs or IDYP. (TIP: If you can collect your pledges at the
time of the pledge it will save you a lot of work and will speed up YOUR
award process.) Print the required information on the Sponsor Sheet.
Day
of the Ride
Plan on packing your own CHAIRS for
seating to eat and enjoy the awards ceremony. We also request that you
bring a bucket for dipping your own horse water. Registration begins at
10:00 am. Take your registration form and waiver with you and check in
at the registration table. After you have registered you will receive
your safety orientation and ride instructions at the trail head. HORSES
ARE NOT WELCOME AT THE REGISTRATION AREA! (This must be adhered
to for safety reasons and to relieve congestion. We won’t start
without you, so leave your equine friends safely tethered to the trailer
while you do your paperwork! )
The first group of riders are out at
10:00 am. Groups of riders will be allowed out of camp on staggered
departure times. THIS IS NOT A SPEED OR TIMED EVENT! If you intend to
ride you must begin by 12:00 pm and by finished by 3:30 pm to be
eligible for prizes.
During
the Ride
The courses are clearly marked. The
checkpoints and water/rest stations are conveniently located. Please
observe all posted rules and instructions as outlined in this brochure
and included in your registration packet. Racing or unsafe riding will
not be tolerated on the course - careless riding will result in you
being asked to leave the ride. Again, this is not a timed event!
The buffet dinner followed by the Ride Awards Ceremony
starts at 2:00 pm. You
must finish your ride by 3:30 pm to be eligible for Ride prizes.
