     --coming soon!

A lunch and beverage is included with your entry at each race.   Serving begins at 12:30 pm.

Awards:  The top 10% of the racers in all Expert categories combined based on finishing time will receive a cash payout at each race.  Prizes will be awarded for the top three finishers in all other categories.  Awards start at 1:00 pm.  The best four out of five races count for the overall series title (participants must start at least three races to qualify, and the Mission Bomber on Sunday June 29 is the WSBA State Marathon Championships and is not included for points as part of the overall Dirt Abides series).  The series award ceremony will be held on Sunday June 29 at Mission Ridge after the State Marathon Championships.

Numbers and timing chips:  Riders will be issued a number plate at the first race they enter.  Keep the number and use it at all races this season.  Use the same timing chip all season too.  Let us know if you forgot/lost either so we can keep race scoring correct.

Camping:  On-site camping available.

Entry fees:  In-person registration prices increase $10.  

Racing age:   The racer’s age on December 31, 2025.

Racing license:  no racing license is required.

Rider meeting:  9:15 at the starting line (15 minutes before the race begins).

On-site registration and number/chip/hat pickup:  7:00--9:00 am on race day only.

Singe-Speed category:  All genders and ages race together.  If there are deemed to be enough entries, the promoter will separate the race into multiple categories.

Non-Binary category:  We want to celebrate the racers who have been omitted from the traditional men’s and women’s categories and create spaces where everyone feels safe and welcome. The Non-Binary category is a step in this ever-evolving process that, although imperfect, we feel is a positive move in the right direction.  We ask our non-binary racers to give us feedback as the season continues.
