A split in the race courses will happen on the final bike leg (after TA4). As long as a team makes the noon cut-off, they may choose to complete the Expedition Course. This requires that they do an extra leg that is a 'hike and trek' combo (highlighted below). Teams will need to know where to drop their bikes to head into the woods to collect each of the three checkpoints.
The challenge for the race director? Making sure every team member goes to the checkpoint (it is a TEAM event after all).
The solution? As teams arrive at TA4, each team member will receive one of the lovely wrist-bands you see below. They will need to physically punch each wrist band at each of the CPs in this section to demonstrate that they completed the challenge.
