This is the same parking and staging as the Chattanooga - Georgia Cup! The actual race will begin and end in Georgia. COURSE WILL BE CLOSED AT 9:15 - ANYONE ON THE COURSE IN ANY MANNER WILL BE PENALIZED ONE (1) MINUTE.

Juniors will start first at 9:30am. Approximate start times will be posted on www.georgiacup.com by 5pm, Friday, October 17th. Actual start list will not be posted until 8:30am Saturday, October 18th. Good rule of thumb is that juniors go first followed by Women, CAT 5, CAT 4, CAT 3, MASTERS and CAT 1/2. Each category should expect to go 5 minutes after the one before it. This is the format that the GC will use in 2009. Ex. If you are a CAT 3 you will be starting approximatly between 10:00a - 10:15, PRO 1 around 10:30a.
Your CAT will determine your start time NOT your age. Age medals will be given out along with CAT jerseys 15-30 Minutes after the finial rider has crossed the line.
