LATEST TRANS-IOWA V3 NEWS

3/7/07: Revised Mileage and Overall Time Limit! Pay close attention here. After getting through all the numbers and rechecking things we have come up with a pretty solid mileage number of 322.3 miles over all distance. The cut off checkpoint, where you recieve the second set of cue sheets is at 127.7 miles. Now, as in years past, we allowed you a ten miles covered on course minimum. This year that would mean that you have approximately 32.5 hours to complete the course. We have actually extended this to a time limit over all of 34 hours. That means if the event starts at 4:00 am on Saturday the 28th of April you will have until 2:00pm. Sunday the 29th of April to finish the 322.3 miles. That gives you an extra hour and a half and ends the event in plenty of time for folks that have to travel home to get a good start on their way. Stay tuned for more details on the pre-race get together and the awards ceremony soon!
