3. What
to do when you arrive:
West
Point is a United States Army installation that enforces
100% identification verifications and security checks for
all personnel wishing to enter the premises. Thus, it is
important that you are properly prepared. Once you are on
campus, you will be directed to specific areas DMI has set
up for the competition. Below are some notes and tips for
your visit:
-
Keep
some sort of identification on you at all times
-
Bring
lots of water and hydrate before the competition
-
Be
prepared for inclement weather (wet, cold, or hot
weather)
The Weather Channel
-
Be
prepared to have your vehicle searched if your vehicle
does not have any military identification tags
-
Enter
through the main entrance (Thayer Gate)
-
Tell
the Gate Guards that you are there to watch the
Sandhurst Competition
-
You
will be directed to park at A Lot.
-
From A Lot you
will board a shuttle bus that will take you to the site
of your choice or to Daly Field where you will find
directions to the Sandhurst Visitor's Booth, located at
the Gen. MacArthur Statue. Maps will be distributed at
Thayer and Stony Lonesome Gates starting at 0500 that
will assist spectators with site selection.
-
Personnel at the
Sandhurst Visitor's Booth will provide you with all the
information you will need for the competition (including
maps and information that will best guide you to
following the teams through the course). Maps will also
be available at West Point gates and Visitors Table
located in A Lot.
4. Following
the teams and watching the competition:
Starting at A LOT, there will be shuttle buses circulating the
sites for anyone that wishes to observe the teams. Using
your POV is authorized around the sites and West Point, but
you must understand that you and your vehicle will be
subject to security inspections every time you enter any of
the gates. You may also experience some parking difficulties
both at the sites and in the parking lots on campus. It is
of your own prerogative to choose which mode of
transportation you would like to use on the day of the
competition, but we recommend using the shuttle buses.
