4 Days til Loop Returns…

April 20, 2022 by leathermansloop

If you are close by the Rez you can pick up your bib (and shirt if ordered) the day before the Loop.

We will be at the WPA Gallery at the entrance to the Reservation from 9am-12noon on Saturday, April 23, 2022 for early bib pickup. If you can come and pick up your bib that would make Loop day a bit less hectic for you — and for our race day volunteers in the show mobile.

For Loop Sunday April 24th, plan to arrive early. The Loop start time is 9am. Plan to be at the park before 8:04am to get parked and get your bibs (and t-shirts if ordered). Even earlier is better — and an early arrival will let you get a look around and get some warm up time.
