You MUST wear your BIB on your front torso to assure that you get timed. You will go over a timing mat for each loop so that you get timing splits for every loop. LIVE! Every time you go over the timing mat your time will be uploaded to our results page. Share this link with your family and they will see your time as you complete each loop.

We have two ceremonies, first for the top 3 male and female OVERALL. Shortly after we hold the age group ceremony. Live timing allows us to start the ceremony quickly so do not leave without your award or have a friend hold it for you. We do not mail awards.

The best place for them to watch is at the Finish line. ( Remember they must be careful when crossing the boardwalk as there is a lane for cyclists!) They’ll see you pass twice per loop! So, prepare them to get their cheer on! We’ll pass out some cheer equipment as well, cowbells, horns, etc.
