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)

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.
