Pelotonia is committed to providing an inclusive experience for all participants and furthering accessibility for all Spectators regardless of ability, both apparent and non-apparent.

While Pelotonia does its best to accommodate the needs of all abilities at its sites and events, we want to acknowledge that there will be large crowds and loud environments that could be triggering to some individuals. All Pelotonia events and sites are smoke-free environments.

For Gravel Day, Spectators should know that, though Snow Fork Event Center is an outdoor venue without stairs, the terrain is not even and could be challenging for those with mobility restrictions and aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, or canes. Accessible, flat-floor entry portable toilets will be available for the use of any guests for the duration of the event.

If you or a loved one have any questions or concerns while on site at Gravel Day, please consult a Lead Volunteer (identifiable by bright blue T-shirts reading “Lead Volunteer”) or a Pelotonia staff member (identifiable by a staff credential lanyard).

Located at the bottom left corner of the Pelotonia website on all pages, the Accessibility Adjustments tool can be used to accommodate many visual, cognitive, and auditory needs to comfortably explore the site.

All participants and Volunteers attending a virtual orientation can enable closed captioning to follow verbal instructions and dialogue in written format.

With the growth of electric bikes and pedal electronics in the biking community, the use of these technologies is welcome at Pelotonia! Please note that fully motorized bikes using a throttle are not permitted on Gravel Day routes, and all electric bikes must have a freely operable pedaling system: a rear wheel drive train of pedals, crank, chain, and gear system.

Please note that Pelotonia reserves the right to remove any non-compliant e-bikes from Gravel Day routes.

Pelotonia adheres to all ADA compliance requirements for parking and has designated ADA-accessible lots at Snow Fork Event Center. Please note that disability parking placards are required to park at these designated spaces. Please view the Event Day Parking Map and follow the direction of parking staff to access these lots. If you need additional assistance, please let the nearest Pelotonia Volunteer or staff member know!

All Pelotonia sites throughout Gravel Day have ADA-accessible, flat-floor entry portable restrooms that are designated with signage.

Pelotonia uses the following to ensure all participants and Spectators can interact with instruction and festivities regardless of visual, cognitive, or hearing ability:

• All Pelotonia signage is created with large print and highly contrasting colors for clear interpretation.

• Each participant start wave is coordinated by a color that is both displayed visually and written in text to accommodate those with limited vision or color blindness.

• Ear plugs will be available at the Check-In tent for individuals that experience sound sensitivity.

Light towers are specifically placed on the campgrounds for those camping on site Friday night to provide light to restrooms and pathways while also avoiding harsh direct light into tents and campers/RVs. A headlamp or flashlight is recommended to help navigate uneven terrain and restrooms after dark.

We’ve incorporated important additions to the Gravel Day experience to support nursing parents participating as Riders, Runners, Hikers, Volunteers, or Spectators. Please visit the Support for Nursing Parents page for more details!
