You can drop off a small bag of clothes at the packet pick up event Friday May 23 from 3PM-7PM. Look for the BAG DROP sign and truck. Please be sure to label your bag. Bags will be loaded onto the truck and delivered the next morning to Silverton ahead of the riders. There will be a last minute BAG DROP at the start the morning of the race. Labeled Bags must be dropped by 6:45am sharp.

The road closes at Purgatory at 7:30am. Please allow 45 minutes to get past the road closure. We recommend leaving Durango by 6:30am. The road opens back up at 1:30pm. Update: CDOT will be performing road maintenance at two areas around Coalbank pass, while they will not be working during the Iron Horse weekend, the road will be one lane at those points, so we do recommend leaving earlier as there may be traffic delays.
