Race Guide
The 2025 Racer Guide (120 Mile Cathedral Route) is available. Please read it and make sure you are familiar with all the information it contains.
Crew Driving Instructions
Please note that there is no overnight parking at ANY aid station. No camping in vehicles is permitted in parking areas or along roadways including the finish line area. If you wish to camp, please do so in designated campgrounds. Failure to respect this jeopardizes our ability to secure permits in the future, and thus is grounds for potential disqualification of you or your racer. Please respect the policy of one crew vehicle per racer, and have your vehicle dashboard sign (given to racers at package pick-up) in place. Due to limited space, please no RV's or trailers at start line or aid station locations.

Note that aid station locations do NOT have internet or cell phone service so you will need to start navigation before you leave cell phone reception.
