We did offer a hand cycle event for several years. However, the participation level declined to only one cyclist per year. The decision was made by several within our organization to discontinue this race option. We support our hand cyclist and wish them the best.
Water & Lemon/Lime Gatorade will be at the water stations this year. Each exchange area will offer beverages and then there will be additional ones along the course.
