AID STATIONS

Have we mentioned that our aid stations are LEGENDARY? In addition to the usual snacks and hydration, you may find chocolate fountains, ribs or doughnuts! Seven aid stations are provided for your food and hydration needs along the routes. Each station’s menu is prepared and selected by adventure athletes and nutritionists to provide the best in fluid and fuel during your ride.

Each station for each stage will be identified on the respective course route maps. Listed below are the 2026 aid station locations and hours of operation for each route to give you an idea. Items will vary by aid station; electrolyte drinks and water will be available at ALL aid stations.

Cold Weather Gear Drop at Snow Valley Aid Station

We have a cold weather gear drop for riders at the Snow Valley aid Station.  Items will be returned after 1 pm to the start/finish aid station at Bear Mountain Resort.
