Banishment for Life
Give your race number to a friend or race under someone else’s name, and you’re both done. For life.
Seriously. Both the registered rider and the person using the number will be excluded from future Iceman events.
There’s a good reason. Racing under someone else’s name isn’t just unfair to the riders who followed the rules. It can also create a serious safety issue. Imagine breaking a collarbone (yes, it happens) and our search and rescue team thinks you’re Bob Jones, 28, from Ionia, when you’re actually Bob Smith, 42, from Kalamazoo.
And then there’s the podium problem.
In 2012, the Birkebeiner Nordic Ski Race discovered that the winner of the Birkie Classic had raced using someone else’s registration. The wrong person stood on the podium, while the legitimate first-, second- and third-place finishers were denied the recognition they had earned.
Don’t be that person.
Race under your own name. Keep your number to yourself. And whatever you do, don’t make us banish you from Iceman for life.
