Parking & Start Line Access

Due to severely limited space for vehicles at the start line, racers are strongly encouraged to use the start line shuttle included in your race entry for you and your bike. Racers park for free in Historic Folsom to catch the shuttle up to the start line at 6:45am.

New in 2024 and beyond! To better manage traffic at the start line, a Start Line Access Pass will be REQUIRED to access the Magnolia Ranch Trailhead parking lot, including drop-offs. If you prefer to provide your own transportation to the start line in lieu of taking the provided shuttle, you will need to purchase a Start Line Access Pass during registration for $20.

Relay Teams: All relay teams will receive one Start Line Access Pass included in your entry at no additional cost.

Access to the Magnolia Ranch Trailhead parking lot will be strictly limited to race staff, official shuttles, and those that purchase a Start Line Access Pass. Please note, all vehicles must be cleared from the Magnolia Ranch parking lot when the race starts at 8:30am.

**Both relay team members need to register separately! You will each pay your portion of the entry fee during registration. Please make sure to enter the same team name as your teammate during registration. Race entry for teams includes shuttle to the start and boat transfer for one person, and t-shirts, post-race meal voucher and fun for both people. Each person in a 2-Person team must do two of the four Stages, but teams may divide them up however they want (e.g. Person #1 does Stages #1 & #2, or #1 & #3, etc.). Teams are responsible for coordinating their own transportation between stages. One Start Line Access Pass is included with your team entry; you do not need to purchase a pass.

Refunds, Deferrals & Transfers

We have a no-refunds policy (see Clipped In for Life refund policy) including but not limited to cancellation/postponement, injury, family/business emergency, medical emergency, or unexpected travel.

Deferrals: If you are unable to attend this year’s race for any reason, you may request to defer your registration fee to the following year for a $25 non-refundable fee. You will receive a credit in the amount of your original registration to apply towards next year’s race (any increase in race price will apply), and your registration cannot be deferred a second time. Deferrals must be requested via email by Wednesday, May 7, 2025 at 11:59pm.

Transfers: You may transfer your registration to another racer of your choice for a $25 non-refundable fee. Transfers must be requested via email by Thursday, May 29, 2025 at 11:59pm. Please include the name and contact information of the racer you are transferring to. We are not able to help you find someone to transfer your entry to unless there is a waitlist.

Deferrals and transfers are only available to registrants for the current year’s race and are not retroactive.
