REGISTRATION
Cycling license is NOT required.
Registration opens at 7:30 AM for the early categories and classes (Endurance / Pro / Cat 1).
We kindly ask that you do not try to register or check in prior to 7:30 AM. While we do wake up at the crack of dawn (and maybe question our life choices somewhere around that first cup of coffee), it takes us a bit of time to get everything set up and ready to go for you.
If you arrive before 7:30, you’ll likely find us still unloading, organizing, and possibly untangling a few things—so save yourself the wait and give us just a little time to get race-ready!
Cat 2s and 3s, you are welcome to check in after the first wave of racers has been taken care of. We promise we'll get everyone through smoothly. Thanks so much for your understanding.
Sign Up Early and Save!

Note: Fees displayed on the registration page INCLUDE the $3 Fair Hill venue fee + BikeReg platform fees. We have the same platform fees as the other races, but several states, like Maryland, recently enacted new “Fee Transparency Laws” which require the advertised price (registration page price) to match the total price participants will pay at check-out.

At that time, the following entry fees go into effect: END $60 / PRO $55 / ADULT XC & E-BIKE $50 / U19 XC $35 plus $3 Fair Hill venue fee + BikeReg platform fees.
Online registration closes the Thursday before the race, midnight.
Make sure your BikeReg profile has your CURRENT EMAIL ADDRESS. We will be using that email address to communicate valuable event information to you.
Each racer will receive an email confirmation upon registering with important information. If you don't receive this, there's your first clue your email address was entered incorrectly.

ENDURANCE - To be considered for the podium, cash prizes or awards in endurance, one must race for a minimum of 3 laps.
For all cash fields, a minimum of 6 starters to payout 3 deep, a minimum of 3 starters to payout first place. The race director reserves the right to not pay more than 50% of the field.
WEATHER / RAIN DATE
Zip code 21921 for your weather app. This is a light rain or shine event. In the event of postponement, an announcement will appear on the MASS website by 6:00 pm the night before the race, unless we are able to make the call earlier. We will also contact all registered racers using the email address provided on your registration - make sure it's accurate.
The rain date is the following Saturday. All registrations will automatically carry over to the rain date. No action necessary on your part,
If you can't make the rain date, consider buying refund insurance when you register (cannot be purchased retroactively).
REFUNDS / TRANSFERS
The event has a NO REFUND POLICY. Make sure that you have no scheduling conflicts BEFORE you register.
In the event of postponement or cancellation, registration fees will not be refunded by the event organizer unless you have purchased the $6 Refund Insurance with your entry fee. This optional purchase is offered under “EVENT ITEMS.” BikeReg platform fees and the insurance fee are not refunded.
NO INSURANCE = NO REFUND if we have to postpone or cancel the event.
Refund Insurance is a smart purchase for those who know they CANNOT make the rain date.
You are allowed to TRANSFER your entry to someone else, before online registration closes, for the original transaction entry amount. You must coordinate with your replacement, who can choose any category in the event, and your replacement pays the difference in price of entry fee, if applicable. (No refund if they register for a lower cost entry, i.e. an adult transferring to a junior). And perhaps they’ll reimburse you for the original amount - that is to be worked out between you and them.
RULES
MASS Race Rules can be found HERE. This includes information regarding series rules, determining your racing age/category and upgrade policy.
MASS Rules apply to all races.
No e-bikes outside of the e-bike category.

No course pre-riding during races.
Any rider littering the course with food packages or waste will be disqualified.

PRE-RIDES
The park is open to the public. You may ride during open hours. We may or may not hold guided rides. If you are interested in leading a ride, please let us know.

NO CAMPING
There is no overnight camping. See here for Fair Hill Rules. The race directors are not campers. Please use the web to search, not our inbox.
KINDNESS IS KEY
Remember when you were a rookie? Let’s set a fabulous example for our junior racers and everyone else out there too! When overtaking a racer, be courteous. Communication is key! Announce yourself and pass only when you can safely do so; we want EVERYONE'S racing experience to be nothing short of positive!
WATCH OUT FOR HORSES
Although we have a park permit, and we have signage up about our race, there may be other user groups in the park, including EQUESTRIAN TRAFFIC. Our course and roving marshals will be there to help deflect outside traffic and keep the course clear for you. However, if you do come across equestrian traffic, please be courteous and be a positive representation of mountain biking. We don't want to jeopardize future events.
TEAM TENTS
We’ll have a suggested area designated for tents
FEED ZONE
Feed zone will be along tent row, either side of course, as you choose.
T-SHIRTS
Pre-ordered T-shirts can be picked up at the registration tent or purchased on-site. To ensure you get your preferred size, pre-ordering is strongly recommended on BikeReg.com. If you'd like to snag one of these sweet T's but can’t make the event, go ahead and purchase online before registration closes and I’ll be happy to ship it to you if you cover shipping cost.
This is last year's design. We are currently working on 2026.

MUSIC
We've curated a killer compilation of songs to kick up the excitement and amp up your motivation! Carrying over the Classic Rock vibe from Granogue, these songs will boost your confidence and get your blood pumping with a variety of energizing vibes. Think of music as your secret weapon - let it fuel your motivation and go crush this race! Each track hits differently, and hopefully, you will be able to find some that inspire you as you both prepare to race and as you sprint to the finish line!

Staff Sergeant Christopher Slutman was not only a loving husband, father, son and brother but he was also a FDNY Firefighter.
Sadly, while serving in the Marines, he was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.
Chris was an avid runner with his wife Shannon. Join us in honoring this American HERO by running or walking in his honor.
All funds from the event will be donated to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation which supports the families of fallen or catastrophically injured military and first responders and the Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation which is building a memorial to honor our heroes on the National Mall.
Dustin was an accomplished athlete and great student. He was a champion wrestler while in High School and a captain of the wrestling team. He was a “Two-Time Wrestler of the Year” for Today’s Sunbeam. After High School, while attending Wilmington University, Dustin started running. He competed in many Triathlons and Half Iron Man Events. Once he completed two years at Wilmington University, where he was on the Dean’s List each semester, he moved to Delray Beach, Florida for a fresh start to find his way in life. On August 30, 2012 his life was tragically taken from us from a random act of violence.
Dustin made you smile the moment he came into a room. He loved to make others laugh and was never afraid to laugh at himself. In his life he was an inspiration to all who knew and loved him. No matter what he was going through personally, he always had time to make you feel better about any circumstances you may be facing.
In his memory, The Dustin Deckard Scholarship was established, Tax ID #46-0893602, to continue the work he would of done if he was still with us. More than 30 scholarships have been awarded to date.
