Participants are organized by experience and goals, with options tailored for those targeting the 26-mile and 50-mile routes.

Registration costs $50, is limited to the first 120 riders, and requires a minimum age of 12. The program begins with a kickoff meeting and then rolls into a season of guided training rides, with many departing from Murray Park, designed to gradually build skills, fitness, and group-riding confidence. Four rider groups provide a clear path for improvement. Beginners with little riding experience receive extra support. Riders with some experience who are new to group riding can focus on completing the 26-mile course. Weekly recreational cyclists can aim for the 50-mile course or work toward a faster finish on the 26-mile route. Experienced cyclists concentrate on pacing, fueling, and smooth cooperative pace-line skills, preparing for the 50-mile route with the potential to stretch to 75 miles. The schedule includes a dress rehearsal at the Young Life River Classic and culminates with the BDB100 itself.
