IMPORTANT: Road Conditions & Race Morning Update

Good Morning,

Due to overnight weather, we want to share a quick race morning update.

Our team is currently on site and setting up as planned. Roads are a bit slick this morning, especially when turning onto Tsali Road. We have contacted local officials in hopes of having that small section treated. At this time, the roads are passable, but we strongly encourage everyone to drive slowly and use extra caution while traveling to the race site.

If you are delayed due to road conditions, do not worry — runners in the 50K will still be allowed to start. Your safety is our top priority.

Please take your time getting here this morning.

Thank you,
Tsali Ultra Race Staff
