What to Expect

The All-Service Raider Championships features some of the nation's best Raider teams competing in two levels—Challenge on Friday and Masters on Saturday. Watch as teams demonstrate their physical fitness, mental toughness, and tactical skills in this demanding sport. As a spectator, be prepared for considerable walking—comfortable shoes are essential! While most uphill and downhill areas are easy to navigate, the Mountain Run course can be challenging for those not in peak condition. Restroom facilities are available throughout the camp (both fixed structures and port-a-potties). Check the weather forecast before arriving to ensure you bring appropriate clothing to stay warm and dry.

Concessions

The camp will once again operate a concession stand at the pavilion located at the entrance to the PTT Course, offering basic concession and cookout food.

Event Memorabilia

At the Concession Stand pavilion, a vendor will offer custom-made shirts and hoodies with a wide variety of options to personalize your Raider gear. All items are made on-site while you wait.

First Aid

All schools are expected to maintain a basic first aid kit with their team at all times. SNI provides first aid supplies and a trained medic at the HQ Cabin. An ambulance may also be stationed just outside the HQ Cabin.

Additional Information for Spectators

• Photography and videography are allowed on all courses. Please keep out of the way of competitors.
• Your first responsibility as a spectator is to never be in the path of competitors. Certain areas will be clearly marked for spectators to stay behind—please respect these boundaries to keep the competition flow clear. If you venture through the woods for a better view of your cadets, remain aware of the path and avoid blocking anyone. This is especially critical on the Mountain Run path, where many areas are narrow and teams travel both up and down on the same road.
• Be respectful during all events and competitions
• Support all teams with positive encouragement
• Follow all venue rules and regulations
• Prepare for outdoor conditions and bring appropriate gear
