According to the organization, the health security of the participants was their main concern but the biggest challenge was to get everyone to arrive with the current restrictions.

However, the challenges presented by the global health pandemic both in getting riders and teams to the event, and in protecting the health and safety of the riders, staff, and everyone involved including the local Southern Utah community drove our decision making." Explained Todd Barber, director of H5 Events.
