COURSES AND AID STATIONS
Nutrition partner information coming soon!
1
We have a policy of zero tolerance for littering. We are determined to make this a “leave nothing but footprints” event. Any trash from food or drinks you consume must be placed in the proper containers next to aid stations and along the course.
2
Please make sure you slow down enough (on the bike in particular) to take on any nutrition needs you may have, and make sure you secure them well . At the aid stations there is a dropping zone for your litter that you must absolutely respect.
3
Of course we understand involuntarily dropping trash, but voluntarily dropping trash outside the proper zones may result in DQF. We are there to help keeping the course and venue as clean as possible, but we all have a roll to play in achieving that goal.
4
We are sure you appreciate these measures as much as both, we, all residents and local businesses, do. In order to make sure we are welcome back every year lets all do our best and be proud of our attitude and care for the environment.
