The 50 mile,  is an 8 lap race.  Each lap has been GPSed to 6 miles.  So, the finish will be about 48-50 miles depending on your GPS accuracy.  The time cut off to go out for your last lap will be 3 hours.

36 mile option – This race will still have a 3 hour limit to start your last lap.  This means, if you haven’t completed your 6 laps but 3 hours you can head out for one more lap if you can do so before the clock hits 3 hours.  Otherwise you will be credited with the completed laps.

18 mile – This division will be a 3 lap race, which will total about 18 miles.  There is a time cut off of 3 hours.  If you have not already completed your three laps you are allowed to finish one more if you head out on course before the clock hits 3 hours.
