Where do I park on race day? Can you accommodate ADA parking?
The best place to park is Miller Elementary School. Turn right into the school lot~ 1/4 mile past the church, heading West on Skyliner Rd. Please follow the direction of our traffic attendants . Please do not attemp to park at the church, along Skyliners Rd or Skyline ranch Rd. Please exercise caution when crossing Skyliner Rd, these roads are not closed on race day, expect local traffic. If you require special assistance or ADA parking, please contact use and we can make arrangements.
Are spectators allowed?
There is plenty of space for friends and family at the start/finish area. Our sponsors will also be on-site, be sure to check them out. We ask you avoid having spectators go out on course as there is not much space on many of the single track segments. This is NOT a closed course and while we have alerted the mountain biking community of a high use time, please be courteous and share the trail should you encounter bikers or other trail users while out on course.
How many aid stations will there be and what is available?
There are 5 aid stations (#1 and #5 are the same) see map. Aid station 1,2,4 and 5 will have Water and Electrolyte as well as Skratch chews. Aid station 3 WILL HAVE WATER ONLY and chews (no electrolytes).
Will there be cups at aid stations?
Yes, While we appreciate everyone using a re-useable cup we’ll have cups of water available. We want to minimize our impact and let’s face it, its tough to haul additional garbage in/out so if you can carry your own cup we’d sure appreciate it. On that note, please dispose of any personal trash at an aid station, if you see an errant wrapper consider picking it up =)
Is there a map of the course? Do you have a .gpx that I can download to my watch?
What is the time limit?

Will there be medical assistance on the course?
YES! Adventure Medics will be on-site and roving the course on mountain bikes to assist if something unforeseen happens. They will be on hand to locate, treat and transport you should you face an emergency. It is always quickest for them to find you and deliver help if you can make it to an aid station.
Are there bathrooms on the course?
There are bathrooms (pit toilets) at Phil’s Trailhead located at approximately mile 1.5. Otherwise, the porta-potties at the start/finish are your best bet.
