Dover Sherborn Boosters Triathlon

Hello Riders,

We're excited to invite you back to the Barn Burner Mountain Bike Race on August 2nd!

Some of you may have noticed that we've moved the event to a new weekend this year due to scheduling conflicts. While the date has changed, everything you love about the Barn Burner is still here—great trails, great people, and a great day on the bike..

The Barn Burner course remains one of our favorites. Expect plenty of winding singletrack, roots that will keep you honest, fast sections that reward momentum, and enough technical features to keep things interesting. The good news? There isn't a ton of climbing, so you'll spend more time riding and less time wondering why you signed up for this in the first place.

And let's be honest—it's not really a Barn Burner without sunshine and ice cream waiting at the finish. We're planning on having plenty of both.

New for 2026

This year we're expanding the event beyond the race course and creating a true community atmosphere.

We're looking for local vendors, artisans, and small businesses to join us across the driveway in what we hope becomes a fun and vibrant Barn Burner Market. Our goal is to showcase local products, support local businesses, and give families something to enjoy throughout the day while racers are out on course.

We're also building a Kids Zone with activities designed to keep our youngest visitors entertained and having fun. Whether they're future racers or just tagging along with mom and dad, we want Barn Burner to be a place where the entire family can enjoy the day.

Mountain biking has always been about community, and we're excited to continue growing the Barn Burner into more than just a race.

So grab your bike, bring your friends, bring your family, and join us on August 2nd for a day of racing, ice cream, sunshine, and good times.

We'll see you at the start line!
