ONLINE REGISTRATION  ONLY. No onsite registration available. Registration closes 9/28/24 at 8pm.

NO TMBRA Season plates will be used. You will receive an FCR race specific plate for this event. Sorry for any inconvenience. 

Come out and race on the 9-ish miles of 99% rock-free, fast, flowy single track trail including almost two miles of machine-built flow-trail with some berms big enough they almost count as wall-rides.  The whole trail was designed with going fast in mind with sweeping corners, climbs mindfully spaced apart to allow for recovery in between them, and plenty of room to pass. The trails have multiple spectator locations around the course. You will almost always have an audience!
