To all Butte 100, 50, and Sorini 25 Racers:

Welcome to the 2024 Butte 100 Mountain Bike Race on July 20, 2024!  It is getting close to race day and I just wanted to pass along a few important points along with times and locations for the mandatory racers meeting and drop bag information.  Once again a tremendous amount of work has gone into this great event and I hope each of you have a wonderful and memorable time. 

Here are a few things you need to know:

Packet pick-up & mandatory racer meeting, Friday, July 19, 2024

Butte Civic Center-Annex  East Side of Building

·         Packet pick-up will be from 2pm until 7pm.  It will NOT take place during the 6pm race meeting but will resume after the meeting concludes.

·         A mandatory racers meeting will be at 6pm at the Butte Civic Center Annex

·         All racers must be present to pick up racer packet and be informed of any last minute course information, safety protocol, and drop bag delivery.

Aid Station Drop Bags

·         All racers in the Butte 100 are non-supported, wilderness races and the use of racer drop bags is strongly encouraged.  Race supplies other than water and Hammer Heed should be considered supplemental.

·         Racers are allowed one 1-gallon zip-lock bag per aid station.

·         Bags must be in the possession of the race no later than 7:00pm on Friday, July 19, to guarantee delivery to the proper aid station.

·         Markers will be provided at packet pick-up to label drop bags with your racer number.  Other recognizable designing/labeling is encouraged to help aid station organizations and efficiency.

Cut-off Time/DNF

To facilitate racer safety and search and rescue personnel utilization the following cut-off times will be strictly enforced.  If a racer is not through the designated location before the assigned cut-off time, that racer will not be allowed to continue the race and will be transported back to the start/finish area.

·         Aid station #6 100 mile racers only – 1:00pm

·         Aid Station #10 all racers – 7:00pm

·         Racers that drop must either arrange a ride back to the start/finish area or patiently wait until drop shuttle arrives.  Only full or near-full car loads will be transported back to the start/finish area.

·         Every dropped racer must notify race volunteer/timing booth at the finish line immediately upon arrival and return their timing chips.

·         Failure to check-in at the timing booth could result in wasted efforts by Search and Rescue teams and volunteers and result in the guilty racer being sent a bill from the Search and Rescue organizations.

Additional Race Policies

·         Note: Mechanical support is the responsibility of the racer.  No outside individuals including family or team members are allowed to help the individual racer in any way once the race begins.

·         E-bikes are not allowed.

·         Racers must complete the race on the same bike.

·         Drop handlebars and/or cross-bikes are not permitted.

·         All racers must compete and follow the rules in the race of which they are registered.  Failure to do so will result in a DQ.

·         Dogs are strongly discouraged around the start/finish area and on the actual race course.  Any dog in the area must be on a leash for its safety as well as the safety of the racers and other spectators.  PLEASE LEAVE YOUR DOG AT HOME.
