Celebrate your finish in true Austin style with live music, food trucks and beer at the lakeside post-race party.

Registration for the 2022 event will open on January 13th

Our 20M loop features a mix of terrain that challenges riders while allowing for ease of passing and minimal choke points. The course will be clearly marked with ORANGE SIGNS w BLACK ARROWS and ORANGE FLAGGING.

60-Mile riders will do 3 loops

40-Mile riders will do 2 loops

20-Mile riders will do 1 loop

Specialized will be onsite at the aid station to help with any mechanical support to keep you rolling.

CREWING

Crew will be allowed to set-up to assist their riders at the lake near the start/finish.

No crew assistance within the barricaded start/finish area where drop bags are located.

No crewing is allowed on course, no exceptions.

RACE PLATES
