RACE
The Coconino 250 is actually a stage race. Consisting of 4 stages and 3 rest stops. The clock doesn’t run while racers are in a rest stop. In essence its 4 individual time trails (ITT) back to back. The idea behind this layout was to encourage friendships, lessen the physical demands on the riders, and try a new format.
Racers are encouraged to track their entering and exiting times to rest stop. You can find the start and stop locations for each stage by downloading the waypoints and GPX track.
