On-site registration and number/chip/clothing pickup:  open 6:00--8:00 pm the evening before the race, and 7:00--9:00 am on race day.

Singe-Speed category:  All genders and ages race together.  If there are deemed to be enough entries, the promoter will separate the race into multiple categories.

Non-Binary category:  We want to celebrate the racers who have been omitted from the traditional men’s and women’s categories and create spaces where everyone feels safe and welcome. The Non-Binary category is a step in this ever-evolving process that, although imperfect, we feel is a positive move in the right direction.  We ask our non-binary racers to give us feedback as the season continues.
