  • If you have not emailed us your departure plans, please let us know if you will be riding in the vans or flying. If you choose to fly, airfare is not included in your registration.

Sacramento Details:

  • We will be staying at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Sacramento Riverfront Promenade (100 Capitol Mall, Sacramento, CA 95814). To check in, simply provide your name to the front desk.

  • We will be hosting a team dinner at 5:30 PM at Alaro Craft Brewery (2004 Capitol Ave, Sacramento, 95811). At the team dinner, we will go over all the details for the following day.
