Thanks to our awesome sponsors, we're offering great prizes for the event again this year! Awards go 3-deep in all categories.
Aid: A water/snack station will be located at the Dasani shelter, close to the end of Wild Turkey (stage 3). Riders are ultimately responsible for their own food.
Equipment: Riders must finish the race on the same bike they started with.
The race stages will be timed but the sections leading to each trail will not be timed. The total race length, including non-timed segments, is approximately 25 miles. You must race the stages in order.
Don't want to ride all stages? No problem. When you're done then head on back to the shelter at Bur-Mil for food and fun. We have a "Just Ridin' Along" category for those who want to participate, but not actually race.
⭐️ New this year: Relay! How it works: Rider 1 starts the race, completes stages 1-3, then hands off their number plate to their teammate. Rider 2 then completes stages 4-5 and finishes the race. Both riders celebrate!
The event will begin at Kingfisher Trail, at the Doggett Road parking lot. Shuttles will take riders and their bikes to the trailhead from the pool parking lot at Bur-Mil Park. You should get to the shuttle area at least 30 minutes prior to your wave going off. You are welcome to ride your bike to the start, or be dropped off. NO PARKING is allowed on Doggett Road or near the start.
You will be on some roads, so blinkie lights are highly recommended. A police officer will be at busy crossings but still be careful when crossing.
