Aid Stations

Each aid station is comprised of smiling, helpful volunteers, a HAM radio operator, and portable toilets.

The aid stations are located approximately every 10 miles and will have bananas, oranges and water. Some stations also have cookies, peanut butter, pancakes or brownies, supplied by volunteers. Some select aid stations will have energy gels and other performance items. Be prepared! If you have specific nutrition needs or preferences, pleasebring them with you.

There will be 16 official aid stations along all the routes for El Tour de Tucson. There are 12 aid stations on the 102-mile route, 7 on the 57-mile route, 3 on the 28-mile route and 2 for the Fun Rides. The last aid station for all routes is located at the Start/Finish Line in Armory Park.

For your safety and the safety of others, cyclists must pull completely off the roadway when stopping at an aid station. Handoffs are dangerous and prohibited and will result in disqualification. If you are unable to continue your ride, ask the HAM radiooperator to contact headquarters for SAG support dispatch. SAG vehicles will pick you up as soon as possible and transport you to the finish area downtown.

Please do not take more food than necessary; there will be other stops a few miles later.

Please deposit all trash including peels, Co2 canisters, tubes and wrappers in trash containers.
