Where
Check-in at the Bowery Pavilion in Lambert Park located on the east bench of Alpine, Utah. Parking is at the bowery and overflow parking is available at the rodeo grounds just 1/3 mile down the road.
Race Course
The race starts at the Bowery with the main race loop including half single track and half broad double track that is approximately 3 miles total. The course splits at the south end for an additional upper-mountain track for experts. Some race groups may start at the same time to get everyone on the trail in a timely manner. Other groups will start within 1 or 2 minutes apart.
Who
Anyone can participate including men, women, experts and children. There are different course features for each group. Only 150 racer slots are open! (We reserve the right to allow more riders beyond the 150 on a case-by-case basis.)
Awards
Individual awards will be given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each division. An overall champion will be named to the fastest expert rider. A four-person team award is also awarded.
