This year's race has some exciting enhancements:
+ The race is now an Omnium format, so points will be awarded based on
finishing position for each stage. The format allows for one day racers,
though points and prizes are awarded only to racers who start all 3 stages.
+ Rolling over foothills and through river valleys of Mount Rainier near
Enumclaw, this year's road race is 40 to 80 miles long depending on the
racer's category.
+ This year's road race now features a longer primary course loop of 33
miles with 2400 vertical feet of climbing. The challenging terrain features
two significant climbs including Mud Mountain, endured by racers in the
past.
+We have added Junior racing categories to give our up and coming stars a
chance to shine, and a Women's Category 4 has been added to accommodate
growing interest.
The entire town of Enumclaw welcomes racers for this annual event so don't
miss out on the welcoming hospitality on scenic backroads within sight of
Mt. Rainier.
Registration closes 3 days before the race this year. No day of race
registrations will be accepted, so register early.
