Saturday morning: State Championship Short Track Race

Saturday afternoon: 9+ mile Super-D with ~2000' elevation loss and a finish on the smile inducing Jedi Trail

Sunday morning: State Championship XC MTB Race. Beginners race a friendly ~12 miles. Sports race a fast but challenging ~24 miles. Pro-Experts race an epic 30+ miles with over 1 mile of elevation gain. All categories finish on the Jedi.

Camping is plentiful at or near the race venue. Meals, snacks and drinks will be avaliable at cost the entire weekend at the race venue (racer friendly meals will be avaliable). Sunday lunch is free to XC racers.

Start your summer off by riding and racing around one of the best kept secrets of MTB riding in Oregon.
