Based on Pro rider feedback, we wil not close off jumps on the Double D jump section.

The first two jumps will be mandatory, with no ride around. The remaining will be rider choice - take the line you find faster.

Forerunners and Sweepers are riding with the Sprint Racers. This will allow us to open trails as soon as Sprinters complete a stage - and hopefully ahead of schedule.

***Pro/Open should get their full pulls in before 12:50pm as Lawnmower and Boundary close at various times.

Use the overflow lot as shown by the lead red arrow.

Sprint Racers and Pro Stage Racers park here, receive their number plate and SWAG here, as well as some logistical information.

***Pro Racers, if you are preriding and parked somewhere else, there is no requirement to move your car here. Simply pedal over.

Packet pickup will run from 10:00-11:30am and re-open at 4:00pm for the Pro Stage.

For the Sprint Race, at the end of Boundary, Racers will use the turn track, not the rock garden.

Mandatory prior to start.

New this year, parking at Brook Hill Church.

May become mandatory for racers in the Sprint.

Race will begin at 12:00.

Push yourself.

Changing it up! In 2026, just like the main event, we will have a full podium for the Sprint.

Just like the 2025 inaugural course, the 2026 course will consist of 4 stages, 10 miles, and 2000 feet of ascent and descent.

Course release in June.

On 1 & 2 August - for the first time. We will have permits to close one lane on Fishing Creek, Mountaindale, and Hamburg. This will help rider safety and make it easier for fans to move around.

Starts as the Sprint Race podium ceremony concludes, 1 August. Start location and time to be annouced - expect 5:00 PM.

Pro/Open: Extremely difficult 2 day race

Expert: Very difficult not everything has a ride around

Sport: Difficult, one stage less than expert, all features have a B-Line

Sprint: for those new to racing: 4 supported stages: 10 miles 2000 feet of climbing and descent
