Temporary Closures for STPR Rally – July 10-13
The STPR rally race is taking place July 11 and 12 on portions of Section 9 of the MABDR and Section 1 of the PA Wilds BDR-X.
Several areas on these routes will be closed for this event with additional traffic and spectators and we are urging riders to avoid this section during the weekend.
The closures will take place on 7/11 and 7/12, but we expect some closures in place the day before and after the event.
We recommend all riders avoid this area during the weekend and take an alternate around the area to avoid major backtracking due to closures and to keep a safe environment around the race.
See attached screenshot for reference showing recommended bypasses.
