ABOUT THE HANGSTERFER'S SUMMER SIZZLER MTB RACE:
We're gearing up for the 2026 edition of the Summer Sizzler. Trail gnomes are working hard on making the course faster and more exciting. We're also planning to to once again donate 100% of proceeds to our favorite cause NJ NICA.
THE CAUSE: #MoreKidsOnBikes
NICA and their mission of #MoreKidsOnBikes is near and dear to our hearts. That is why since 2016, we have donated 100% of race proceeds to New Jersey NICA. Thanks to the financial support of our title sponsor Hangsterfer's Laboratories and our amazing riding community we have raised more than $38,000 for New Jersey’s NICA League and local NICA teams.
COURSE:
For 2026, we'll be running the course in the clockwise direction. Expect the course to deliver the familiar 5-mile dose of twisty South Jersey singletrack filled with: logs, roots, and punchy climbs with various improvements throughout.
