FAMB Thursday Night Race League @ Whitefish Mountain Resort
Race Nights: July 10 • July 24 • August 14
Race Overview
Join Flathead Area Mountain Bikers (FAMB) at Whitefish Mountain Resort for a few weeks of racing and community building. This is a great opportunity to connect with fellow riders and earn your ice cream and beers. We aim for a casual, community-focused MTB race series that’s as much about the stoke as it is about the competition. We hope for 50+ racers per night, great trail vibes, and good company.
Racers can choose between 1, 2, or 3 (4) laps of a 2–2.5 mile loop. Helmets are required. You will be descending on Green/Blue trails that are part of the Downhill Mountain Bike trail network at WMR.
