Come out and enjoy one of Michigan's best mountain bike trails on the Harrison Campus of Mid Michigan College. It's set in a beautiful forest with massive trees and rolling hills. This trail sports some long, gentle climbs (a few not so gentle) and holds up well to rain.
A nice combination of mostly fast-flowing trails, some tighter technical areas, and a couple of short sections of hilly two tracks. This course will be challenging and fun for all racers.
Proceeds benefit the maintenance and improvement of Mid’s recreational facilities.
The race has an approximately 1/2 mile rollout. Beginner classes are one abbreviated lap - approximately 9 miles. Sport classes are 1 lap - 18 miles and Elite/Expert is 2 laps- 27 miles. Wave starts will begin promptly at 10:30am with Elite/Expert classes, immediately followed by Sport and Beginner classes.
LUNCH, AWARDS & PRIZE GIVEAWAYS
Lunch, giveaways, and awards follow at Noon. The award ceremony will take place outside the Poet Outdoor Education Center, feel free to bring lawn chairs if desired. Awards for all divisions will be held at approximately 1:30pm.
There will be Cash Payouts and Medals for Elite/Experts and Medals for Sport/Beginners. Water will be provided - alcoholic beverages are not allowed on campus. Plus, don't miss your chance to win great swag from our sponsors - must be present to win. Simply check your ticket against the posted winning tickets and claim your prize!
