Where should you watch the race?

Since the location of the checkpoints remains a surprise up until the day of the race, we can't really tell you exactly where to watch. We will say this, however. The race might be contained by:

• Division on the North
• Lake on the South
• Halsted on the East
• Western on the West

Starting Line

A great place to watch the race is near the starting line. The race will begin at the corner of Wollcot and Hubbard (map) at 12 noon. Feel free to come on by to congratulate all the participants on their lack of taste as they cross the starting line. Cheer on your favorite dogs and mushers as they make their way towards the first checkpoint. Be there by 12 noon or you'll miss the starting horn. And in case you were wondering - YES, the starting line is EPIC.

Finish Line

The finish line will be announced the night before race day. Stay tuned on our google group to get the details. Get there by around 2:30 pm if you want to catch the first teams as they cross the finish line in all of their glory, pain, and exhaustion.

DISCLAIMER - This information can and will change before race day.
