All courses begin and end in Pennsylvania’s Endless Mountains\, along the beautiful Susquehanna River’s North Branch. \nThere are three distances to choose from\, and you can race the Grand Depart or ride at a slower\, touring pace. Exact routes will be confirmed closer to the event. For a qualifying time\, racers must ride the entire course\, can purchase supplies from local businesses along the way during public open hours\, and can camp or stay in hotels that are publicly available to all participants. Private support is not allowed. \nRiders will register for a satellite tracker on the Follow My Challenge platform ($30 with a personal device\, $80 if renting a tracker). The public will be able to follow rider progress along the routes via an online tracking map.
