Will there be road closures?
Some sections may have partial closures. This is an open course, so please follow all signs and instructions from law enforcement and volunteers.

What if I have a mechanical issue or get tired?
SAG follow vehicles can provide transport back to the start line or basic assistance.
Call 9-1-1 for any emergency needs — tell them where you are on the course and they will respond.
