Special entry is granted through Gate 10 for teams bringing in tents, collapsible chairs, blankets, coolers,
food, beverages, or other special team equipment. There will be a thorough security check. Please expect a
careful and methodical security process that may take additional time. Teams are encouraged by security to
consolidate each team’s equipment together as much as possible. We ask for your patience and
understanding for those working security, whose job is to help ensure everyone’s safety within the Summerfest
grounds.
Gate 10 will be open from 5:00 AM onward for teams bringing in equipment.
Outside alcohol is not allowed. Teams may bring food, non-alcoholic beverages, and coolers through Gate
10, subject to Summerfest security screening and final venue rules.
Again, race participants are encouraged to go through South Gate, and not Gate 10, if they do not have tents,
collapsible chairs, coolers, food, beverages, or other special team equipment.
