The Race

Ready for some super fun Fall XXC and XC racing?! With four distances to choose from, 50, 30, 15, and 7 miles, there is a race for anyone and everyone! We also have youth races so bring the whole family! 

The Course

 The course is about 7.5 miles long of mostly singletrack and has a variety of terrain and difficulty. The start hosts an awesome jump line with a go around option (which everyone will take the first lap), then goes into the technical, rocky, rooty section for a couple miles, then pops out and turns fast and flowy and finishes with some classic singletrack!

We will have two aid stations fully stocked with food and drinks! Our friends at Pickle Juice have got us covered and we will have their supplements at every aid station! https://picklepower.com/
