RACE NOTES
WARM-UP
Please do not warm-up on the trail (unless you are racing Cat III Women's Categories) as you risk getting in the way of other riders trying to race their race. We suggest using Streetcar Drive south of the main parking lot for your Warm-Up.
PASSING RULES
The majority of the Bootlegger Trail is pretty narrow, which doesn't make it easy to pass a rider ahead of you. If you want to pass, just ask the rider in front of you nicely! Try saying "Hey there, can I pass you at the next wide part of the trail?" - Most riders will say yes. If you're the slower rider ahead and would rather just pull over and let someone pass, feel free, but yell back at them to let them know first.
PARKING
The larger parking lot across from Shelter 2 is the best and largest area to park, but if it's full please park at the many small spots South of Shelter 2. Please do not park passed (North) of Shelter 2.
SEEDING LAP
Each race will start on Streetcar Drive in front of the Shelter 2 area facing North. In order to help spread out riders before entering the trail, each race will start with a short counter-clockwise loop of the directly North section of Streetcar Drive before entering the Shelter 2 connector to the Start/Finish line.
AWARDS
FASTEST LAP PRIZE MONEY 2024 - $1400
FASTEST LAP MARATHON (1 MAN 1 WOMAN) - $350
FASTEST LAP ALL OTHER CATEGORIES (1 MAN 1 WOMAN) - $350
