Riders are also responsible for verifying their start times leading up to the race as they may change.

Training for the run is recommended prior to the race. The run will be posted several days ahead of the event to allow time for athletes to practice. Day of inspection will be subject to rules that will be announced at the riders meeting.

Day-of plate pick up will be located outside of the Balcony House.

- Riders are expected to pre-ride the course in the allotted time period ahead of the race.
- While inspecting or racing, remember to stay on course and no cutting race tape.
- Competitors will be allowed near the start line beginning 5 minutes prior to their race. A competition staff member or certified volunteer will be able to let competitors know if the competition is running on time.
- Time starts when your front wheel crosses the start line.
- Our Timing is tracked by the chip on your plate. Please do not alter your plate in any way to compromise its purpose. You are responsible for completing chip check to ensure all data (name, category, etc.) associated with your plate are correct.
- Please keep your number visible at all times.
- If you are unable to finish the course, please clear off the designated race course to prevent other riders from running into you and report directly to Timing.
- If another racer in your category catches you on course, pull over and allow them to pass. If you do not pull over in an instance like this, you will be disqualified.

- The protest period for any corrections (i.e. name, classes or age, timing errors, etc.) for each class will end 30 minutes after the final competitor of that class completes the course. If a racer decides to protest, they will have to pay a $50 protest fee which will be reimbursed back to them if they win their protest
- Once the protest window is closed, results are final and official.
- We have marshals along the course. If you pass an injured rider, please notify the next marshal and they will put a hold on the course and radio bike patrol
- Please keep in mind that we are all here to have fun. Unsportsmanlike conduct at any point is grounds for disqualification.
- Decisions made by the Chief of Race or Race Management are final.

Re-runs will only be granted on an individual review basis. In the event where a racer feels a re-run is in order, they must immediately talk to Timing, at the bottom of the race course. At that point, the proposed re-run will either be granted or declined based on the Race Jury's decision, based on the nature of the request. Re-runs will be offered at the end of the category ahead of Pro or at the end of the Pro Category, if approved to re-run. Mechanical issues or complications will not be granted approval to re-run. No re-runs for mechanical issues.
