Welcome to the “Women+ TakeOver"

We aim to celebrate the women, gender diverse riders & industry leaders in our region who help make mountain biking a place for everyone. It's a special weekend for those looking for adventure, learning, empowerment & camaraderie.
Bryce Bike Park is a perfect venue for new or experienced mountain bikers to come together and bond over this amazing sport!
*The TakeOver is not recommended for brand new mountain bikers. You should have at least started your journey to off road riding and have ridden a mountain bike. Novice riders - yes. Newbies - no.

Options To Attend the TakeOver
We have several options for how to attend:
FULL ACCESS WEEKEND PACKAGE WITH 2 CLINCS: This is the pinnacle TakeOver experience! Most participants choose this option as a way to continue progressing their skills. (With this selection, you get everything included in the list above + 2 Skills clinics; ONE EACH DAY). Must be age 12 & over to take clinics.
After selecting the “Full Access Weekend w/ 2 clinics” category box on registration, you will then select one (2 hour) clinic each day. It can be either an AM or PM clinic, (total of one each day) for an overall total of 2 for the weekend. We do not offer clinics to single-day tickets because we don't feel it promotes the community building that the TakeOver is all about. However, any unsold clinics will be offered for sale on an individual basis the week before the TakeOver.
Full Weekend or One day Package with No Clinics: You get everything included in the list above, however you are opting out of skills clinics.
JUNIOR SHREDDER PACKAGE - For juniors ages 8-11. Riders can be any ability level and will stay together as a group. They will have a dedicated coach with them for the day for more of a “summer camp” style experience. They will get coaching, some bike set up and mechanic skills & have time to rip tons of laps! They may attend any of the workshops we offer and are encouraged to race the DownDuro.
**All coaching is included with the Jr Shredders package. Do not make additional clinic selections from the registration list.
***Discount for Season Pass Holders: If you have a 2026 Bryce Bike Park season pass, use coupon code: seasonpass Please bring your pass to check in.
THE SKILLS CLINICS:
We have assembled a group of the most experienced professional coaches in our region to bring you a wide variety of clinics and ability levels. There's something for everyone.
It can be tricky to determine your skill level when signing up for clinics. We aren't always the best judge of our own skills and abilities! To help you with that, we have labeled our clinics with a rating of Level 1 to Level 3. Please consider your experience and skill for each different clinic topic, not necessarily your overall skill as a rider. We hope this makes it easier for you to select the appropriate clinic.
Keep in mind, mountain bike progression is not necessarily linear. You may be a Level 3 for one skill set and a Level 1 for another. For instance, you may be an Elite XC racer who crushes technical terrain at a Level 3. But you have never learned to Jump, so you should sign up for a Level 1 Jump Clinic.
If you have any questions about which clinics to sign up for, please contact us and ask.
Skill Clinic Levels - Described
LEVEL 1:
-You’re a novice rider or you’re new to the topic being taught. Focus is on building a strong foundation for this skill set to grow on.

-You want to learn correct techniques or break bad habits.
**For Level 1 Jumps and Drops: you have little to no experience with jumps or drops and are learning them for the first time. Or you have some experience, but have never taken a lesson for Jumps or Drops and want to ensure that your skills are solid before advancing.

-You have good bike handling skills and you’re comfortable riding a variety of terrain.
-You want to ensure your skills on the topic before moving to more advanced techniques.

Since 2005 the Culpeper Triathlon has been staged out of Mountain Run Lake Park at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. After a swim in Mountain Run Lake athletes roll out of T1 for a challenging bike course with great pavement and amazing views. It’s not a PR bike course, but it is so beautiful and a place you will come back to ride! The run course has great views of Mountain Run Lake, the Blue Ridge mountains and is a rolling mix of flats and steady hills. There is so much to see and do in Culpeper, VA. Main street offers an eclectic mix of restaurants, shopping and nightlife while the surrounding area offers great hiking, biking, fishing and more.
Escape to the tranquility of the Shenandoah Mountains for this ultimate 4-day triathlon training getaway. The Shenandoah Valley is close to major east coast cities, but offers a serene and inspiring training environment. Here is what our experienced professional athletes and coaches have on tap:

Elevate your open water swimming with expert coaching at Arrowhead Lake. Sunday's OW swim will be on a buoyed course, and will refine your technique, sighting, pack swimming, and start positioning.
Gain confidence and conquer the mountains on your bicycle. Our expert coaching will empower you to improve your climbing and descending skills as you explore the scenic creeks and breathtaking vistas of the Appalachian ridgeline.
Escape the pavement and embrace the trails. Our runs on double and single track combine adventure with traditional triathlon training, offering a refreshing alternative to monotonous pace based road work.

Thursday check-in begins at 11 am ahead of our opening stroke/speed session at James Madison University (JMU) pool. We will start with a light drill set, getting our feel of the water. Then we light the afterburners for a high octane set of 25 and 50’s. We will then get on the bike for a light group spin to the base of a small climb in which we will work on various climbing and descending techniques. These will be key tools to have in your toolbox as this camp will put your climbing and descending skills to the test. The day concludes with an optional track workout of 15x200 meters. An opportunity to turn over the legs while they are still fresh.
Friday is when multisport gets reimagined. The morning starts with a swim set at JMU learning open water skills within a swim set. We will work on drafting, staying efficient in traffic and different self-preservation skills.
Then, refuel and gear up for a brick workout. Starting off with a ride, the group will head out of Harrisonburg rolling toward the mountains. At the midway aid station, we will have your run shoes awaiting. This will be your long run for the weekend on gravel Forest Service roads. Most will perform an out and back course while others may opt for a looped trail which includes some ridgeline running. After the run athletes can either call it a day and hang out in compression boots or jump on their bikes and roll downhill to Harrisonburg.
Saturday is pure and simply a long ride day. At Paul State Park riders will shed anything they do not want to climb with. This is where the day starts in earnest as the terrain kicks up and riders climb 9 miles at an average 5.8% grade. Most riders will finish between 1 and 2 hours. A support vehicle will follow today's ride and meet riders at the summit to savor the views and take some photos before enjoying the long flowing paved descent. Riders will have the option to descend back down to Paul State Forest completing a 35 mile ride or roll down the backside completing a 75 mile loop totaling more than 7500’ of climbing.
Sunday is the legendary 4 hour points event at Arrowhead Lake. This is the essence of multisport fun. Some design their dream triathlon, and others will choose to bounce between their favorite two sports. Then there are those few that just stick to seeing how far they can go in 4 hours in a single sport. A 500 yard open water swim course, 17 mi bike course, and 5k run course will be supported for 4 hours. Athletes will get a designated amount of points for completing each of the loops. The multisport extravaganza will be followed up by a closing BBQ.
