BIG SUGAR WEATHER UPDATE

Due to severe storms expected to impact the region today, we’ve made the decision that all 100-mile riders — including elites — will move to the 50-mile course for today’s Life Time Big Sugar Gravel presented by Kenetik in an effort to provide the safest experience while proceeding with today’s race.

Start times will not be delayed:

• • Elite Men: 7:25 AM

• Elite Women: 7:35 AM

• • 100-mile age group riders will start the 50-mile course at 7:50 AM
  • Original 50-mile riders will start at 8:30 AM

• 25-mile riders will start at 9:00 AM

Please download the updated 50-mile route before the start. Course maps can be found here.

Changing Race Distances:
Athletes may choose to switch to the 25 mile distance before the start — no need to notify race officials.

Just start with your preferred distance, and we’ll automatically move you into that distance.

Awards:
Awards will be distributed based on the category that you start with:

• 7:50am Start (Original 100 Mile)
• 8:30am Start (Original 50 Mile)

Weather in this area can bring strong storms, hail, and even tornadoes. 

Current weather predictions expect the strongest impact to occur between 12pm – 3pm. If severe weather occurs, seek shelter immediately and do not continue riding until it’s safe.

We appreciate your flexibility and please remember that Mother Nature can be unpredictable.

Stay safe, stay smart, and enjoy the ride.
