From the organizers
We are monitoring the potential for wildfire smoke danger as Aether’s Traverse race day approaches. Based on this Air Quality Guide, we have determined that an Air Quality Index over 175 or sustained at 150 on the morning of the race would make physical activity unsafe for our participants. In that case, the event would be canceled. Unfortunately we will not be able to refund entry fees, but registered riders will be eligible for a discounted entry to any of the 2027 Idaho Panhandle Gravel Series events.
