*** NOTE *** Due to construction activity underway at Webster and Cabrillo Elementary Schools, we were just informed by the Santa Monica – Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD) that it has declined an HQ permit for this year’s event for safety and logistical reasons. As a consequence, the Start/Finish location has again been changed this year to registration tables in front of Starbuck’s in Malibu next to Ralph’s located at 23755 Malibu Rd, Malibu, CA 90263. We can stage our event, but will have to make do with no real HQ facility. Everyone registered for the Grand Tour has or will soon receive the same letter via email. We sincerely apologize for this but are nevertheless determined to hold an event this year regardless of the difficulties that this presents. Please open and read the link below to the Grand Tour Updates letter for further details on what has changed this year as a result.
