For the convenience of participating teams, the GymRat CHALLENGE will once again provide free hotel reservation and lodging logistics for all event participants. For the 2012 GymRat CHALLENGE, those services will be provided by the Alliance Reservations Network.

Some hotel properties that are NOT on our Preferred List INCREASE their prices during the GymRat CHALLENGE weekend because of the high demand for hotel space. ALL OF THE RATES AVAILABLE THROUGH ARN ARE GUARANTEED TO BE THE LOWEST RATES AVAILABLE TO ANY GUEST AT THAT HOTEL DURING THE EVENT WEEKEND. In order to allow ARN maximum leverage when negotiating group rates for GymRat CHALLENGE participants, ALL teams requiring hotel space MUST book through the ARN system. This will ensure that GymRat CHALLENGE rates are the lowest available in the area. Teams booking hotel space outside of the ARN system will be REMOVED from the event schedule.
