Quanah Hill Uprising is a mountain bike race on January 23, 2027 in Weatherford, TX, with entry fees from $35 to $75.
New in 2026, Quanah Hill Uprising will now be 2 days full of racing in Weatherford Texas.
Can you ride 8 laps of Quanah Hill in under 6 hours? That's the challenge. Achieving this feat of strength totals 1 mile of elevation gain, over 5,280 feet of climbing.
It's a bold move, only a few will be able to withstand the fatigue. Even fewer will be able to make the lap times required to turn 8 full laps in 6 hours. But for those that can meet the challenge your reward will be great. The top 10 finishers to complete the Mile High Challenge will receive their names in the record books alongside their completion time, plus a finishers belt buckle commemorating the achievement.
All registered attendees will receive a complimentary race souvenir, but only the top 10 who complete the full Mile High challenge will be rewarded with a very unique Quanah Hill Uprising Mile High Challenge belt buckle.
There are additional endurance challenges planned for all riders on Sunday. If you can't make 6 hours solo then join a team for a 2-person tag-team attempt of the challenge. There are also 4 hour, 2 hour and 1 lap Time Trial races available. No matter what your fitness level is there is a race for you.
The following route is the intended race loop. Changes may occur due to weather, trail conditions, construction or other unforeseen events and route is subject to change. Please note that the race will be starting and finishing from the gas pad for special event parking and facilities. This parking area is not accessible during regular riding, please use the main Quanah Hill parking lot.
