6/23/25 -  Early Registration opens

We have began to set the official courses and are excited with the

layout for this summer.

Distances:

Bike - 4-5 Miles all on paved trails

Run/Hike - 8ish

No boats but you will not stay dry

6/30 - This years course for the 4 hour race is a bit more adventurous in the past with multiple

river crossings, if racers decide to take certain routes. There are options for racers that might play 

it a little safer. Early registration closes.

7/1 - Regular registration opens for racers. Teams are starting to sign up and maps are taking shape. 

7/5 - Courses are both complete, and we are ready to set CP's and finalize maps. The 4-Hour race has nearly

30 CP's to collect while the 8-Hour while have over 60 CP's. Our 8-hour race is looking at approximately 30 miles of total binking, but tht will be broken up and some of that will include single track. Both courses have plenty of water, which depending on where you cross will determine how wet you get. There are plenty of "razor" weeds out there so we suggest long pants, especially for the 8-hour racers. We would also suggest ot wearing new shoes since areas of the river are muddy and you will be in it a lot.
