Ride amenities include a post ride meal, ample parking, SAG support, seven well-stocked and staffed rest stops, recorded times, and commemorative T shirts. All this plus the hospitality of Madison County. We are working with Mars Hill University to determine if we will be safe to offer access to the showers and low-cost dorm rooms this year.

Our current precautionary planning to address the risk of Covid-19 spread includes a protocol of masks being worn while on the University campus, at the start and finish area, in SAG vehicles, and at the rest stops. The Start area on Athletic Street allows ample space for social distancing. Packet pick-up will be a ‘drive through’. We will monitor the evolving situation and adjust our requirements based on the guidance of the University, Madison County Health Department, and the CDC.
