What happens if my team doesn make the cutoff time one day?
If you are competing in the Epic category, on most days you will have the option to drop down to the Challenge distance. Alternately, we will assist you in getting off the course and back to Base Camp. Missing a cutoff time does not mean you must dropout of the race; it only means that you will not be awarded a Finisher Medal. And we strongly encourage you to ride out the remaining stages of the race, as you will still receive a Participant Medal! Note that this year, if you complete all seven days of riding either a mixture of Epic and Challenge courses or exclusively Challenge course, you will receive the Challenge Finisher Medal. Only those who complete all seven days of the Epic course will receive the Epic Finisher Medal.
