Capital to Capital

1: What are the start, halfway, and finish points? Capital to Capital will be starting in Philadelphia. The halfway point will be near Kent Narrows, MD. Day 2 start line will be near Annapolis, MD. Finally, Capital to Capital will finish in Washington, D.C. More specific locations will be released in a few weeks.

2: What is included in the registration cost? Registration for both days is $160 and includes both training jerseys. Registration for one day (Day 1 or Day 2) is $100 and includes one training jersey. Additional jerseys, bibs, or shorts can be ordered during the registration process.

Riding on BOTH days and you already own a black TF training jersey, use the code "TFJersey" for your discount.

3: Is lodging included in registration? No, participants will be responsible for covering the cost of their own lodging. Team Foster has sourced a block of rooms at Best Western Annapolis (2420 Riva Road, in Annapolis). This location is about 3 miles/10 minutes from the starting point for Sunday. The cost is $190.97 (w/ tax) per room. Please book by March 31st. You can book by calling (410) 224-2800.

4: What does it mean to ride in a platoon? Team Foster does things a bit differently. Everyone rides as part of a platoon (group). Platoons generally proceed with riders 2 abreast and each platoon has platoon leaders, support vehicles and mechanical assistance from start to finish. No rider goes it alone. Riders are assigned to a platoon based on projected speed and experience.

5: What is I have issues with my bike during the ride? If someone suffers a flat tire or a mechanical issue, the entire platoon will stop to fix the issue or the rider experiencing issues will ride in the SAG vehicle until the next rest stop.

6: Is there transportation? Team Foster is offering bus transportation on Sunday to return any participants back to Philadelphia. The cost is $45 per person. To reserve a seat on the bus, please email jesshagen@teamfoster.org

7: Do I have to fundraise? Yes, each participant has a goal to raise at least $100. Once you register, you will receive a fundraising page perfect for personalizing and sending to your friends, family, and networks. This is a great way to also share the Team Foster mission!

8. How can I volunteer? Stay tuned! Capital to Capital will be opening volunteer sign ups for the start line, half way point, finish line, SAG drivers, and mechanics in the coming weeks!
