What to Expect

World class style course a short drive away. At 5 miles and 500 feet vertical per lap, this challenging course will give you everything that should be in a mountain bike race. Sharp turns and cornering that will test your technical abilities, punchy climbs that will test your raw strength, fast descents that will test your guts, and multiple laps that will test your will! To say there are a few turns on this course is an understatement.

Course 411: The course will be marked at all critical intersections the night before the race. Pre-riding is allowed for 1 lap after the start of prior race. Please keep a minimum of 300 feet from any active racer. THIS WILL BE ENFORCED.

Spectating: There are many ways to view this event. A short hike throughout the race offers new vantage points to watch your favorite riders.

Number Plates: This is a lap timed event. All racers will have a number plate with chip except for the Kids Race.

Results: Posted at the conclusion of your race and live results on line.

Refund Policy: Velocity Ventures does not offer refunds. We completely understand that unfortunate circumstances happen, but we plan this event way in advance from a cost and resource allocation perspective, and the financial and administrative burden is high. On the plus side, we do offer transfers and deferrals. If you would like to transfer your entry to another rider, no problem. Just drop us a line and we can get it taken care of for you at no charge. If you need to defer, we will happily issue a voucher for any Velocity event in 2026. This will incur a $20 fee. Deferral requests will be accepted up to 48 hours prior to race day. Thank you for understanding this policy!

Race Rules

Rule 1: You will smile no matter the pain.

Rule 2: Yes, you must wear a helmet and have adequate eye protection.

Rule 3: Be nice to the land, it never did anything to you.

3A: DON’T LITTER.

3B: Stick to the trail. Course cutting could be as simple as creating a new line on a switchback. Please don’t do it.

Rule 4: No headphones. Sing to yourself.

Rule 5: If you don’t thank a volunteer, you will be publicly shamed.

Rule 6: This is mountain biking. Please, please, please be considerate of other racers whether you are in front being a superhero, or in back getting ready to vomit. We all know this, but the occasional reminder never hurts.

Rule 7: Refunds: Full refund will be honored up to 30 days prior to the event, minus any registration costs. After that time, deferrals will be allowed.

Number of laps will be dependent on category and/or age group.  Awards ceremony will follow each race. Remember, age is your RACE AGE, which is the age you will be on 12/31/2026.
