The OkoumeFest Ultra Marathon Derby 2013 starts Monday, March 18, 2013. The derbies are fun and a great way to get ready for a challenge. How do you get entered in the derby?
1. Register for the OFUM2013 event.
2. Upload your portrait to the Rogues Gallery to get your own tracking icon. This is optional. If you don't do this, your icon will be a generic skull and cross bones.
3. Configure your SPOT and get it setup for the Tracking Map. If your icon shows up on the tracking map, you are good to go for the derby.
4. At the end of each day, be sure to enter your derby points.
The key to winning is to get started on day one and enter some points every single day. Even if you get started late or don't win on points, you can still win the random drawing.

I will startup the tracking map ASAP today. Please note that all tracking points will be deleted every Sunday at about 10 PM. If you are out adventuring and cannot enter your points by then, contact me by email prior to your trip and I can enter your points for you.

The tracking map for the OkoumeFest Ultra Marathon and derby is up and running. After you enter your SPOT shared page and generate an OK Message for testing, you may have to zoom out to see your current location. After that you will be ready to enter derby points starting Monday.

I can't seem to find any information about this challenge on either website, like the date it starts or any other pertinent information. Is the course a clockwise direction or counterclockwise? Thanks,

EDIT: just found what I was looking for by going to Rosters

Yes, navigation is a problem because of the old site - new site thing. That is being fixed. Until the new combined site is up and running all new event information is on the old site. Go to http://www.WaterTribe.com and click the Events button. The new stuff is there and is being updated.

Here is a link to the next event: http://watertribe.com/Events/OkoumeFestUltraMarathon/Default.aspx

Here is a link to the Derby: http://watertribe.com/Events/Derby/Default.aspx

Remember, the next Derby goes operational tonight at midnight - Monday, March 18th is the first day to enter points.

You have to be signed up for the OFUM2013 AND have your SPOT configured for that event in order to log derby points. When you have met that criteria, log in on the old site before going to the Derby page.

Also, look at the tracking map. It shows a pretty good depiction of the route for the OkoumeFest Ultra Marathon.

And the OFUM derby race begins...

JollyRoger takes an early lead being the first off the block.

Cleanslate quickly catches up and is now neck and neck with JollyRoger around the first bend.

Are there any other competitors closing in? We dare not look back...

Why isn’t the dog chasing the cat? The Va. contingent should be leading all challengers.

The Dog still has a job. The cat gets to live on a drainage ditch. Dog migh try some Doggie Paddle this weekend if the weather gets better. Old Dogs do not like the cold as much any more...

My guess is this FeralCat has as many years behind him as the Dog who has a Life that is not as close to the water as he would like. As far as a drainage ditch your not too far off the mark, plus my office (yes I still work) is on the water so that helps as well. The cold, well it's just a good remider to the "good" times had during the EC.

Hope everyone gets a chance to get out on the water this weekend, cheers, FeralCat
