XC MTB Racing for 2026 ......... July 19, July 26, Aug 16, Aug 30
All races for 2026 are on Sundays. We will count 3 of 4 races for overall award, with a minimum of 2 events attended & you must attend the finals on Aug. 30th. (NO double points for series finals).
NEW info on the website about our VIP package.
PRE-riding will be available on Saturdays, prior to each race, with the “course of the day” to be marked the weekend before each race. Reminder, NO pre-riding on race days. Warm up at Snow Valley’s parking lot at the east end before the race (or follow signage if posted)
Don’t forget….each race is an individual event for awards.
We will have some food options, but are hoping our racers will support Snow Valley's concessions for allowing us to use their parking lot. OR bring your own & picnic in base area.
NO LICENSE is required to race any of our events this season again.
Pls. register online for the best pricing. Race day registration is accepted with a $10 late fee & you will need to register online, preferably with your phone or at one of our laptops available at registration inside & pick up your number plate, etc. (NEW last year: NO paper registration forms will be available on site race day.)
FREE Kid’s Races for 11 & under. START TIME: 9:45 am (before Beginners/Sports) Team/Shop Competition again, as well.

From Endurance Grid
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.
XC races, enduros, and fat bike events across U.S. trails. Technical, physical, and completely different from anything on pavement.
