Packet Pick-Up

Because of our new multi-day format with scheduled start times, we will also expand our packet pick up, however we will only be in Logan this year. Our packet pick up times are as follows (note: Early riders on Friday can also get their packets at the START line on Friday am):

Thurs - 4-7 (Bountiful Bikes in Woods Cross/Bountiful area)

Friday - 12-7 (Als Sporting Goods)

Sat - 5-10 (Start Line available on request)

If you choose to same-day, please contact us and give yourself plenty of time before your start time.

We encourage all riders to keep distanced at the packet pick-up, and move thru the area at a steady pace. We are also not pre-stuffing bags to cut down on the number of people who handle each item, so if you want some of the great offers on the table, please take one (hint: there are some great discount coupons to Al’s and other local shops).

The Breakfast

Prior to your start, we will offer a simple complimentary breakfast/start meal, courtesy of our title sponsors, Intermountain Logan Regional Hospital and Intermountain Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. Come a bit early and get fueled up for the ride, and there will also be some items you can take with you.
