Format
Races will be mass start on a short track course of 3.1 miles in length. Most categories will do multiple laps of the course. Big Cedar is known for it's technical singletrack and punchy climbs, but we have found a great short track course that is flat, fast and will be a ton of fun. This course will test riders with tight corridors, winding turns and plenty of rocks and roots. Watch out! There is a technical creek and bridge crossing towards the end of each lap.
All AGES are calculated based on the participant age at the end of the year (12/31/2026). This is done so that all participants will race within the same category or age bracket for the full series.

About This Sport
Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Mountain biking takes place on singletrack and natural terrain where reading the trail matters as much as fitness — cornering, braking, and instinct on dirt are skills that only come from time in the saddle.
Events range from beginner-friendly cross-country races to technical enduros, and the trail community is one of the most welcoming in endurance sport.
Mountain Bike
XC races, enduros, and fat bike events across U.S. trails. Technical, physical, and completely different from anything on pavement.
