These close/open times are based on 3:00/min mile pace for first racer
(handcrank) and approximately a 14 minute per mile pace for slowest.
(This is rounded up from the 13 minutes and 44 seconds pace per mile
needed for the 6-hour finish time limit but is used below to calculate
closure times). Important notes:
- Expect large gaps after first racer; allow cross traffic carefully.
- Slower runners might fall behind the reopen times shown below. In such
cases, the runners are pedestrians responsible for heeding normal traffic
laws; roads will be reopened for traffic (this is the table of times used
by the trailing CHP car to reopen course to traffic).
