Sooner Stampede Kids Kup: Why Your Young Rider Will Love This Race!
Clear Bay Trails just got a full professional rebuild - smoother lines, fresh dirt, and brand‑new features designed to make riding more fun than ever. And the Sooner Stampede Kids Kup gets to be the very first youth race on these new trails!
Kids will roll through fast, flowy singletrack built by the same trail pros who design courses for big‑time riders. The laps are short, safe, and packed with excitement - perfect for building confidence, learning skills, and feeling like a real mountain bike racer.
Whether your kiddo is brand‑new to riding or already loves shredding dirt, Kids Kup is all about fun, encouragement, and celebrating young cyclists. Parents cheer, kids grin, and everyone gets to be part of Oklahoma MTB history as the next generation takes on Clear Bay in its debut season.
This is their moment to try something new, feel proud, and be part of the Stampede story. Sign them up and let them experience the joy of racing fresh singletrack!
😋 Food will be available for purchase
🧲 We have horseshoe award medals for the kids!

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.
