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 & 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.

The Goose Chase has a no refund policy due to the pre-ordering of event shirts, medals, bibs, etc. We understand that emergencies or last minute schedule changes do occur, therefore, to better accommodate you, we have some other options instead.
If none of these options work for you and a refund is still needed, there will be a $10 service charge through September 1st and we are not responsible for the online registration fee.
After September 1st, there will not be any refunds. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at info@thegoosechase.org
