Race Week Accommodations

A full list of race week accommodations will be available here soon!  We are working out the best deals for all of you racers, and will have the information posted shortly!

Base Camp

After you cross the finish line, you'll be greeted by our Finish Line Hosts and Aid Station.  From there you can wash your steed at the bike wash in preparation for the wrenches from Obsession Bikes.  Then hit bag check for your Dakine bag that we will transport for you each day.

Base Camp will be there for all your post ride needs: breakfast and dinner (if you purchased the meal plan); a shower truck, medical treatment, massage therapy team, chiropractic treatment, secure bike storage, retail area and the Race Relations Station.  Tents will be set up for you each day and our Tent Hosts will assit you in finding your tent.  Each Base Camp will have at least one food vendor to satisfy your hunger between the finish line and dinner.  Hang out at the Bear's Den where you can meet and chill with friends or just watch your fellow racers cross the finish line.

We'll take care of you from the finish to start each day!
