This event will have two routes – 25 miles and 100 km (62 miles). 
The GPS file contains 5 routes -

  • 100 kilometer
  • 100 km REVERSE
  • 25 mile — full 25 mile route
  • 25 mile OUTBOUND — start to RS1 only
  • 25 mile RETURN — return leg from RS1 to start/finish

The GPS file also contains waypoints for most turns and are labeled by mileage. They are named as “m xx.x” or “s xx.x”  where “m” cues are either common to both routes (start to RS1) or 100k route and “s” waypoints are the return leg of the 25 mile route. These are listed in the spreadsheet.

If you need to manipulate these files, you should look into a program called GPSBABEL

If you have any questions, let me know.
