Course
The rider can select either the 17 mile event, or if you are tough enough you can choose to do the 34 mile Event . These events are truly epics, the 34-mile distance is quite an epic to complete. Over 90% of it is on single-track trails. These will not be your normal 17 or 34-mile epic rides. They both will require extreme physical condition, so please use good judgment if you decide to ride!

 
Payout and Prizes
Money Class awards include 1st, 2nd, 3rd place fastest time for the entire series. 1st will receive $750, 2nd will receive $500, 3rd Place will receive $250.  We also recognize 4th Place and 5th Place with a special swag prize.  The Money Class is for the 34mile distance only.

For the non-Money Class, 1st, 2nd and 3rd places will receive prizes based on their placement. We will award competitors with the lowest cumulative time to complete all three Snake races for a given distance ( Snake Trifecta ).

Non-Money Class Men, 34Mile
Non-Money Class Women, 34Mile
