Registration

Advance registration is required. There will be no race day registration. UPDATE This year we will have 2 divisions - 50 Mile Solo Racer, 50 Mile Team of 2. The 25 Mile Solo Racer division has been eliminated due to the county health ordinance participant cap. If you are only interested in doing 1 lap we recommend finding a friend to make a team.
