Brand new race course!  

Team Tent Area:  Gives the team a spot in the closest parking lot by race registration and start/finish, adjacent to an extra restroom.  Team tent is placed on the grass next to the lot, room for one car.  A perfect place where the team can gather where you can hear the race announcer.  

Women's Events Note - We have worked hard to ensure that women racers have as many opportunities to race as possible.   For 2025:  Pay equity in the W123 and M123 races for a certain number of places (based upon turnout).  Pay equity in the Cat 4 only and W 4/5 events ($250 amounts depending on attendance levels as always).  The W4/5 races are at 9:25am, earlier in the day (the Cat 4 race will be at 4pm).  We feel that it is important there be a Women's Cat 4/5 race in addition to the W1/2/3 race.   Please register early as the promoter will maintain pay equity but has the right to reduce the number of paying places in the W123 if turnout is low.  Please be sure to put us on your calendar - we need as many women and non-binary racers to show up as possible.   Please pre-reg early!

Team Tent Area:  Gives the team a place in the closest parking lot near the start/finish with room for one car.

Race proceeds benefit:   TBD
