CHECK-IN & CREDENTIAL PICK-UP 

• After parking, each participant should proceed to Check-In with a driver’s license or other photo ID to receive their Credentials. Please plan to arrive at the start location between 7:00am and 7:30am to ensure you have enough time to check in and enjoy the provided breakfast.

START INFORMATION 

• All Riders must start the Ride at the official start location. Law enforcement and support vehicles will be timed with the riders who participate in the organized start.  
• Your cooperation is key to making the start of Pelotonia safe and enjoyable for everyone. If you do not leave with the organized start, you will be proceeding at your own risk. 
• Please do not put yourself and your fellow Riders in danger by violating these rules. Thank you in advance for your cooperation

RUN/HIKE COURSE 

• Upon completion of your cycling route, you may begin the run/hike course, entering by following signage near the run/hike truss. Please rack your bike, ensure your run/hike bib is attached to the front of your body, and feel free to enter the run/hike course any time before 2:30pm! 
• The course will be marked with Pelotonia flags, barricade tape, and signage. Please follow all signage carefully and never leave the marked course for the safety of all. 

REST STOPS & HYDRATION 

• Drinks, food, mechanical support, and first aid assistance will be available at every stop.  

• Drinks, food, and first aid assistance will be available.  
• The same resources will also be available at Snow Fork for Runners and Hikers to refuel before starting additional laps.  
• Please review this quick guide for tips on staying hydrated and energized throughout your ride.  

• Bring at least one water bottle with you.  
• Do not rely on thirst to guide your hydration, because thirst kicks in only after you are already becoming dehydrated.  

OPTIONAL BAILEY'S TRAIL EXTENSION 

• This is an advanced route option that is completely optional and will add approximately half a mile to the route of any Riders who choose to take it. 
• To opt in to the extension, please carefully follow signage posted at the route split, which takes place at approximately mile 4 on the 11-mile route. 

FINISH INFORMATION 

• Ask any family and friends meeting you at the finish line to carefully follow the signage and instructions from law enforcement officers and Volunteers. Guests must be vigilant about watching out for participants no matter where they are on the property.  
• Family and friends can use the Pelotonia Tracker app to follow your progress on both the cycling and running/hiking routes and see your estimated finish times. Spectators should download the app and search your name within the Gravel Day event to receive push notifications when you start, leave rest stops, and complete your events. The Pelotonia Tracker app is available for download from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
