    Event details and schedule

    Packet Pickup/Registration

    Saturday 6:00-6:45am at Railroad Ave Park (100 S Railroad Ave)

    We are doing digital check in again this year. We can use your QR code or name.

    Roadway

    Reminder that the road is still open to traffic.  Although traffic is minimal and there will be police escorts, we encourage you to ride safely and follow the rules of the road.  Please be mindful at aid stations and turnarounds. Also, the train still runs. Please be aware when crossing the track. 

    Parking

    There is plenty of street parking and a large dirt lot east of Railroad Ave park.  Be mindful of any restricted park areas as towing will be enforced if cars are blocking business gates/driveways.   

    Aid Stations 

    The Aid Stations are fully stocked with GU and Skratch Lab goodies, pickle juice, watermelon, bananas and oranges, crackers, bars, etc.  We can assure you, you won't leave hungry!    

    Starting Times

    As always, we stagger the starts.  66 milers will leave right at 7am with the first police escort.  We give them a few minutes before releasing the 33 milers.  The 8 milers take off a few minutes. As a reminder, this event is not timed and everyone is a winner! But it is still fun to watch the super-fast cyclists pretend they aren't racing!  

    THANK YOU!!!

    Thank you for coming out and supporting The Willcox Flyer!  Thank you to all of our sponsors and all of our volunteers!  Every dollar that we raise goes to Small Town, Big Dreams 501c3.  The BIG dream of Small Town, Big Dreams is that eventually every student that graduates from Willcox High School will have access to post-secondary education.  We currently have 23 students that we provide scholarship for - many of which are first generation advanced education members of their family!  This is all made possible because of this bike ride - Thank you!
