Please stop by registration upon arrival to Palmer Park prior to starting the course. Adult solo riders you MUST check-in before starting the course. Junior and duo riders will have a mass start.

You are responsible for understanding the rules of the race so please arrive with plenty of time and read any pre-race information ahead of time.

Please review the updated course map on our website here.
Trails: Start– Greencrest– Little Moab– Palmer Point– Grandview– Mesa– Yucca– Mesa– Templeton– Mesa– Yucca– Templeton– Greencrest– Palmer Point– Grandview– Kinnickinnick– Finish

Please familiarize yourself with the course prior to riding. The course will be marked on Thursday evening. You are welcome to pre-ride on Friday morning any time before 3pm. Please do not cross any timing mats with your race bib after 3pm unless you are actively racing.

This is the most difficult of our three races this summer. Please only ride features that you are comfortable with or that you have ridden before. There is NO shame in the walking game if you decide to walk a feature! In fact, you might even shave some time off that way!

I would also encourage all riders to have the course downloaded on a device that you will carry with you. We will do our best to provide the best marked course possible, but we have encountered issues in Palmer Park before with neighbors pulling course markers. If you reach an intersection that you do not see a directional arrow or flagging, please consult your device rather than get lost!

The relay transition area will be located at the start/finish area and will be clearly marked with signage and cones. Rider 1 must cross the finish mat and high five, fist bump, belly bump, etc. Rider 2 before the next team rider heads out on the loop.  Relay riders must wait in the designated transition area. Do not cross timing mats before Rider 1 is finished with their loop even to warmup. Each relay rider will have their own timing chip. There will be no need to trade off race plates or timing chips.

The race courses will be well marked using orange plastic ribbons with black polka dots. Trail junctions and turns will be well marked with BLUE laminated signs. Please pay attention to these signs at each junction to stay on course.

In addition, blue & white checkerboard plastic flagging will be hung to designate non-race or “WRONG WAY” trails. All riders are responsible for understanding the layout of the courses. Please familiarize yourself with the course maps on our website prior to race day and/or print a map to bring along with you.

There are two road crossings on course and one small section on the paved road. Please use caution and look both ways before crossing any junctions. While this is a race, roads are open to traffic so PLEASE yield to cars.
