  • Getting to the Start/Finish line:

    • Here’s a GPX file of the course.

    • Directions from Laramie, take I-80 east to exit 323. Turn towards the rest area (left) and then left onto Happy Jack Road (WYO 210). Follow Happy Jack Road for about 6 miles. Look for a sign on the right that says "Blair-Wallis" (it's actually Headquarters Road). The turn is between mileposts 31 and 32. Turn right and look for the finish line! 

    • Directions from Cheyenne, take Happy Jack Road (WYO 210) west out of town for about 31 miles. Look for a sign on the left that says "Blair-Wallis" (it's actually Headquarters Road). The turn is between mileposts 31 and 32. Turn left and look for the finish line! 

  • Bring sunscreen, bug dope, and dress for the weather. Most volunteer positions will not have shelter available. Here is a forecast for the race site.

  • Cell phone reception is variable throughout the course. Text messages are more reliable where reception is poor.

After we have an idea of how many people are available for each task, you will receive an email with instructions detailing when and where your help is needed most. Expect this sometime in early July.

Volunteer check-in will take place Thursday and Friday from noon-7PM at the Pedal House.
