Divisions offered include: solo, two-person stage relay, two-person open relay, four-person stage relay, and four-person open relay, including tandem solo, two-tandem stage relay, and two-tandem open relay. Stage relays follow the recent historic format of individuals on teams racing the entire distant of each stage before exchanging with a teammate at the start of the next stage. The open relays allow exchanges among individual racers on teams anywhere on course, except in no-exchange zones as set by the race rules. Both stage and open relay teams will compete against one another in their respective divisions.
There's an epic racing opportunity and spiritual odyssey to be experienced in each division!
