Rules

We are all about the freedom and spirit of gravel, but in order to ensure things don't devolve into chaos, a few rules to keep in mind:

RULE #1

Riders will navigate via cue sheets and/or GPS. The course will not be marked. You are responsible for navigation.

RULE #2

No littering. Take care of event location, countryside, aid stations, and start/finish areas. Seriously, no tolerance for littering. The long-term success of our event requires all of us to keep our roads and Lilac Hill clean.

RULE #3

NO OUTSIDE SUPPORT - This means no friends, family, or team support on the course, and no prearranged support from other riders. Once you leave the start, consider yourself on a self-supported solo endeavor. You can resupply along your journey at aid stations.

RULE #4

Encourage others, help others in need, and have fun! Disrespect to other athletes through any form of harassment or profanities will not be tolerated.

RULE #5

All riders must wear a modern helmet while riding.

RULE #6

E-Bikes are allowed but are not eligible for cash prizes.

RULE #7

Whichever event you choose, it’s your responsibility to be prepared and have a plan in case you need to quit prior to the finish.

RULE #8

Number plates must be affixed to the front of the handlebars. Do not bend, tape around your headtube, cut, or alter the provided number plates in any way. These alterations often affect the timing that can affect the integrity of our event and create an exorbitant amount of work for our timing staff.
