The adult bike course will be two 4.2 mile laps or a total of 8.4 miles at the City of Eagle Bike Park (aka the VeloPark). The course has approximately 300 feet of elevation gain per lap over rolling terrain. The entire course is on beginner level trails with no technical aspects. The race is limited to 29” or smaller mountain bike wheels. Cyclocross bikes with knobby tires will be allowed.

RUN
The run will start immediately following the bike course. Runners will follow signs out of transition onto the run course.

The adult course is a fantastic set of rolling single track on the lower trails (D’s Chaos and Twisted Sister). Runners will complete two laps before finishing.
