FREE WOMEN'S RACE CLINIC
All you have to do is register for any category (including Party Lappers) and you get free entry to the Women's Race Clinic on Saturday June 24th. This will take place during the pre-ride time (Saturday afternoon) and wrap up before the Saturday night Time Trial. Register on Bike Reg for the race, and get free entry! Just look for an email about a week out from the race day with a quick survey to help us plan skills groups, size, etc. You can sign up in person to race on Saturday and will get free entry to the clinic, just shoot us an email saying that is your plan to keep us up to date with the head count.
MASSIVE thanks to Kate Strom for leading the way on this. This is a small step that we are taking as a race series to grow women's participation in the sport. Ages 11 + up are welcome. Perry County Park trails have a great variety of technical, flow, tight, and some short and steep parts that will make this the perfect place to dial in your skills and be ready to race!
If you ONLY want to do the clinic, that is fine! Just sign up as a PARTY LAPPER and let us know when you check in. You don't have to race on Sunday, but after you learn all these sweet skills at the clinic you'll have no reason not to!

Youth MTB (10 & Under) Route
Riders can do up to 5 laps. This route is super short and mostly grass. The riders will be in view nearly the whole loop. They will climb a grassy hill and make their way back down to complete a lap. There are some bumps and bits and a bit of gravel, but will have lots of cheers in place of single track. Parents are allowed to ride with them as long as they sign a waiver!
ACCOMMODATIONS
The horse ring (north side of park) is where the race HQ will be. Head that way and you will find the start/finish. Parking is below at the extension office. There will be signs on how to walk/ride up to race HQ. There is a campground in the parking area of the horse ring (we used this as parking last year). Please be aware that there is NO PARKING in that lot this year.
