Sooner Stampede

🏁 Sooner Stampede — Race 4 of the 2026 Tour de Dirt

Sunday, September 13 • Clear Bay Trails • Norman, OK

Sooner Stampede: Why You Need to Be Here!
Clear Bay Trails have just undergone a full professional rebuild — not a touch‑up, not a reroute, but a ground‑up transformation crafted by expert trail builders. We're talkin' fresh berms, dialed‑in flow, smarter climbs, and brand‑new lines carving through the trees at Lake Thunderbird, creating a fast, clean, intentional ride.

And Tour de Dirt is bringing the Sooner Stampede back to be the first race on these new trails!

This is your chance to ride Clear Bay in its debut season - before the dirt settles, before the lines get too burned in, before everyone else claims they were here. You’re not just signing up for a race; you’re stepping into Oklahoma MTB history. The Stampede returns with more speed, more precision, and more reason to push your limits on a course built for modern mountain biking.

If you love racing fresh singletrack, if you want to test yourself on professionally crafted terrain, if you want to be part of the story riders will talk about all season - this is your moment. Register now! 

Clear Bay is ready. The Stampede is back. Be the first to race it.
