Q&A DOOMSDAY DASH: OUTBREAK
I am experiencing issues/problems with the online registration process: If you are having problems registering, please use Google Chrome or
Mozilla Firefox, and make sure that your browser is enabled for cookies.
If you are still having technical problems, please contact contact us.
Can I register by mail or phone?: Not Recommended but Yes, all registrations are completed online, So that
means that we would be essentially doing the same process as you would
be. If you do need help don't be afraid to give us a call 1-866-844-1483
I want to race on Sunday, but only Saturday is open to register: Saturday's race registration is opened up before we add Sundays. If you
click the registration link and only see Saturday, we have not reached a
full enough amount for Saturday to justify opening the Sunday race.
Where can I find my confirmation?:The Confirmation Code is printed on the ticket that we emailed to you
after registering (be sure to check your spam folder if you are unable
to locate your confirmation email, Search TicketLeap). You will need
this ticket when you pick up your registration packet as Doomsday Staff
will scan the bar code.
What do I bring Race Day?:Besides proper running gear. You will need to bring your Registration
Ticket that was emailed to you, Government ID, Filled out copy of the
waiver but Do Not Sign it! Cash as there will be limited ATM's
available.
How competitive is Doomsday Dash?: Oh Boy! Our participants generally fall into one of two categories:
easygoing weekend warrior types or fierce competitors. If you are the
competitive type, make sure to sign up for our competitive heat
(10:30am) If you just want to run to have fun no worries! Competitive or
not, all participants are encouraged to help each other complete the
race course.
What is the wave start time system?: Waves of 200 athletes will be released every 30 minutes. Race against
the best and join the Competitive Heat. This is the first Adult heat of
the day at 10:30am. Heats for all other racers start every 30 minutes.
Make sure you register early to be guaranteed a time slot in your
preferred heat, if it does not show as available then it has sold out.
How does Doomsday Dash compare to other races?: With 20+ Unique Apocalyptic obstacles, our race is a true challenge, and
not just a friendly mudrun with a few measly obstacles like some other
events. Between 5-7K depending on layout, our event is the perfect
blend of distance and obstacles. Unlike most races in Ontario that are
mainly on a Ski Hill this event is on a beautiful lakeside property with
rolling hills, open fields and woodlands.
What will I need to do when I arrive at the race?: Proper Footwear, Waiver filled out but not signed, and a valid
registration either printed or you can also show the bar code on a
mobile device such as a cell phone or IPAD. Government issued ID also
Required.
How old do I have to be to participate?: You must be 13 years old on event day to participate. If you are under
18 on race day, you must arrive to our event with your race waiver
signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Can friends and family come?: You’d be crazy not to bring them. Who do you think is going to take that
Facebook shot of you jumping over fire or crawling under barbed wire?
There is plenty of fun, food and drinks to keep your spectators having a
good time. Spectators are encouraged to register online at a discounted
rate. They can also show up day of event with CASH only. Please check
your event page for pricing details.
Do you charge a parking fee?: We charge $10 per vehicle. Most choose to carpool so that the cost per person is minimal. (Hint: carpool). But on the Plus side, Parking is very close to the race, no need to be bused from miles away!
Can I switch wave times?: Wherever possible, participants are assigned to the closest available
start time that they requested when registering for the event. However,
due to demand and time of registration, participants may find that they
are not in the start group time they had requested. Please do not
contact us requesting a time change. At the time of registration, all
participants agreed that their preferred wave times are not guaranteed. TEAMS and groups – if members of the same team or group are assigned to
different start times, the entire team is permitted to join the latest
start time assigned to a team member. Participants may not move forward
in start times.
Do I have to sign a waiver to participate?: Yes. You can download the waiver from the DOWNLOADS page.
Can I get a refund?: We do not issue refunds under any circumstance. Any active military
unable to attend due to military duty may receive a refund upon
providing official documentation regarding the deployment that conflicts
with the event.
I forgot to apply my discount: Unfortunately, we are unable to retroactively process discounts after the registration process.
Can I get a military or emergency services discount?: We provide discounts for active-duty military, police, fire fighters,
and EMS personnel, but be prepared to show your military or emergency
services ID when you pick up your packet.
*Unfortunately, we are unable to retroactively process discounts after the registration process.
What’s the best way to prepare for Doomsday?: Stock lots of water, food, and condoms! Oh, you were meaning the race...
Some follow strict diets and workout routines. Others eat Chips and
start drinking beer at noon every day. Its a matter of preference!
Do I have to be in great shape to participate?: That depends. We don’t have a problem with people walking the course or
taking a casual approach to Savage Race, and some people do. However, if
you want a great time or win a competitive heat, you will need to be an
advanced athlete.
What should I wear?: Normal running clothes, but keep in mind that you will be climbing,
ducking and diving and that you will get wet and muddy. From personal
experience wear tight underwear!
What should I bring for after the event?: Bring dry clothes that suit the weather of the event day. It sucks to be
too cold/hot when your friends want to stick around after the race.
Also, don’t forget your party pants.
Is there a gear check area?: Yes! We have an optional gear check available at our events for $2 Cash/Coin.
Where can I find driving directions?: You can find driving directions to by visiting the FIND US - MAP page.
Can we add people to our team?: Yep. You can add as many people as you want to a team until registration is sold out.
Do all Team members have to sign up at the same time?: Recommended but Nope. Team members can sign up independently, whenever
registration is open. However, make sure to choose correct
registration time and enter the proper team name when registering. Also, team members may pay different amounts from one another since prices go up closer to the event.
