3-Hour Race Details:

Which way you start your loop will depend on your bib number and a coin toss. Once you complete the 3.3 mile loop and are back at the aid station, you will go out the way you just came in and complete your next loop the opposite way.

 

This ensures safety and comradery. This also adds a different kind of challenge.

 

How many loops can you get in 3-hours?!!?
