A fast, fun and challenging course utilizing Fort Custer's red, green & yellow trails awaits you! Whether you're looking to keep up your conditioning as Iceman awaits or perhaps attempting your first Mountain Bike race, Custer's Last Stand is a great race for you.
The 9 miles of trail is 90% single track, but affords enough passing room for courteous racing. Participants will be sent off every 30 seconds so there's plenty of space between riders.
