SUPPORT CREWS ARE NOT ALLOWED ON COURSE
1) If you wish to be picked up by your support crew, please make your way to an accessible locaton – without driving on the gravel roads of the course.
– The SAG Jeeps can help you to get to an accessible location if you are unable and will take you to the nearest checkpoint location if you do not have another pick up option

2) Shuttles are available at the checkpoints to carry riders and bikes back to Bentonville
– They will take you either to the finish festival or to the Walmart HQ parking lot as desired

3) If you need to call for help, use the BIG SUGAR HOTLINE: 719-257-3938
– Again, cell service is spotty. The Jeeps all have HAM radio which has better transmission, if you need to communicate with support crews or race organization

  • One is redeemable for a free drink at Whistling Springs Brewery
  • One can be turned in for a beer from Bike Rack Brewing at the finish festival
  • One can be used at one of the food trucks at the finish festival and is worth UP TO $10
    • If you’re buying something less than $10, no change will be given
    • If you want something more expensive, you will have to pay the remainder
• The food trucks at the finish are also open to business for any support crews or spectators
