CHECK JENNY WILEY STATE PARK FOR OPENINGS
We've worked very hard with Jenny Wiley State Park to reserve most of wing A for the racers! We will have some of this area open to camping all weekend long. Some of the spots will be kept for parking and using for the XC start/finish. Note, that if you decide to camp in wing A, during the XC race on Saturday it may be hard for you to get in and out with your vehicle before 2PM as the race is going on. We suggest if you are in an RV to find a place in wing B or C. We will have the remaining A and B spots available via our race registration page. Not all of the spots are currently reserved are cyclists, FYI.
It's totally fine for you to buy a spot and a friend join you if there car/van/truck can also fit on the site. If you have questions please reach out.

For this event we’re giving 100% of the money from the Party Lappers category back to the trails. So, look at your registration for Party Lappers being a donation for your shuttle laps.
We couldn’t host this race without the city pulling all the stops to make this shuttle support so many riders. Support the trails, and sign up!
You have to have a wrist band for the shuttle. You can pick it up at race HQ in the campground.
Shuttle times:
Friday: 1PM- 5PM

COURSE DETAILS
XC NOTES:
We will be releasing the XC course once a couple of repairs are made, and a few options are finalized. This route WILL NOT go up escalator. It utilizes new trail and keeps racers in the middle of the mountain for the majority of the race. Each lap is roughly 1000ft of climbing. Pros will do 3 laps, roughly 24 miles, Open classes 2 laps at 16 miles, and Party Lappers and 11-14 with 1 lap at 8 miles.

ENDURO NOTES:
Saturday at 5PM Pro Men and Women will be shuttled up to do the Pro only stage, Upper and Lower Rawhide. On Sunday, Pro Men and Women will repeat Lower Rawhide (Stage 2 on Sunday). All racers need to do the courses in order to help with shuttles sync. Party Lappers can skip any stages they do not want to do. If you come on a crashed rider during your race that needs assistance you are allowed a re-run. You do have to check in at Race HQ before doing this.
Full face helmets recommended, but not required.
Saturday practice will have some stages closed in the morning until the XC finished up. Pro Stage, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4 will be closed until the XC finishes. Meaning Stage 1 & 5 are all that will be open until a bit after 12:00PM
