Sportsmanship and Expectations:

We welcome riders of all skill levels!

Program Highlights:

• Race Course: West Falls is the most technical local cyclocross course. I have often referred to it as a mountain bikers cyclocross course. We make an effort to make it as well balanced for all riders types as possible. It is 50% fast twisty grass (power section) and 50% is trails (tech) through the woods down to the creek with the infamous beach and monster climb (power & tech) back up hecklers hill.

• Requirements: Acceptable bikes include cyclocross, gravel, mountain bikes, fat bikes, or even a unicycle if that suits you!

(Early bird pricing of $40/Adult and $160/Adult Series increases

to $45/$185 on 9/15/26 at midnight)

• $15 for U15 juniors on a shortened course, and $40-45 for adults. Additional races are $15.

• We will allow day of registration (cash only and $10 extra) but ask you to please pre-register if possible. These events take many volunteers to run successfully and any and all preparation that can be done ahead of time makes these days run much smoother. Double up and race a second race for only $15!
