Every year, Labor Day Weekend, endurance MTB riders drop in on some of the best singletrack Park City, Utah has to offer. There are over 400 miles of trail here; it’s ripping fast and incredibly diverse. Whether you’re someone who rides the trails regularly, or you’re an out-of-towner, the Park City Point 2 Point is guaranteed to please.

The course is an actual point to point ride, and thanks to the plethora of trails in the area, you will never be on the same trail twice. 90% of the course is on singletrack with a total distance of 75 miles and over 10,000′ of climbing, and all while traveling through two world-class mountain resorts. It will challenge your mental prowess, yet it will have you grinning from ear to ear.

Point 2 Point is an adventure too, just like the old days of mountain bike racing. It’s not a closed course (the general public will riding the trails with you), and we will not be holding your hand along the way, showing you the route. You will want to prepare, study the course map (pre-ride if you can), or bringing a GPS unit with the course pre-loaded. If you don’t prepare, there’s a chance you are going to get lost, maybe not even finish – but isn’t this the real allure of racing?

We always ask…Can You Do it? There is only one way to find out.
