Mountain Bike races—all day Friday—Cat 1, 2, 3 (Novice), Junior, Single Speed, Clydesdale and E-Bike (one neutral water table – no outside allowed)
Gravel Grind—7:05 PM Saturday – 2 routes—fun for all! (maybe one or two water/electrolyte drink and maybe something with bubbles!) Self supported
Trail Runs—Sunday 7 AM—Long Run (12 to 13 miles) and 10K ish -lots of rest stops, like every 2-3 miles! Please carry what you want, the things we have you may not like! Distances are CLOSE – IT’S A TRAIL RUN!!! The 10 k may be within a half mile of 6.2 and the Long Run may be within one or so miles of a half!! If anything the courses will be short. As I said, IT’S A TRAIL RUN – not a perfect, paved run – PLEASE do NOT whine and complain and show us your garmin…. This is the last event in a super long weekend and we are tired. We work ALL YEAR to get ready, if the only thing that goes wrong is short or long on mileage for the trail run – then it was a great weekend!

Mountain Bike Race – All start’s are by Cat and age group, your start time will be on your bib. Report to start area at least 30 minutes before your start time to have body marking and find your start group
Course is well marked and about 12 miles long. We like to call it flowy with punchy climbs. We have many wood bridges and elevated structures.
- Our 2025 Mountain Bike start times will stay the same as in 2004.
- Our Novice (formerly Cat 3) and Clydesdale cyclists will start at 8 a.m. Friday in order to Beat the Heat. Y’all get to race one lap.
- Cat 1’s will start at 10 a.m. and race two laps.
- Finally, after the Cat 1’s have left the start line, the Cat 2’s, the Single Speed, the Cat 1 women and the Cat 1 men (60+) and E-Bikes will start and ride their 1.5 laps (17.5-ish miles.)
- Juniors start with the Cat their license says they are.
- Remember, both your start time and your group are both listed on your bib.
Are you terrified of Highway to Heaven?
Once again we are leaving the “go around” open! It’s longer but stays ON THE GROUND!
Gravel NEW FOR 2025! Only two distances! The Party Loop, about 27 miles and the Sasquatch, about 42 miles. The Sasquatch is the long gravel ride that will count towards all the Multi-Event Challenges.
Course closes at midnight.
Saturday evening – starts at 7:05 PM at the Wichita Falls Brewing Company, 701 Indiana Ave, Wichita Falls, TX 76301
Everyone must have lights front and back – real ones, not those silly ones. And of course, helmets. It’s also a great idea to have back up batteries and to have ridden at night a few times to make sure you can see with your lights!
We will have reflective signs marking the course – BUT – you MUST have the map from RIDEWITHGPS downloaded – will you get lost without it?? Most likely! We are marking the turns, but come on.. it’s the country, things happen, signs get stolen by kids, cows and Chupacabras!
Party Loop – about 27 miles. Riders must be at least 16 years old. Exceptions may be granted by the Race Director BEFORE the event.
Sasquatch – about 42 miles. Riders must be at least 18 years old. Exceptions may be granted by the Race Director BEFORE the event.
SUNDAY Trail Runs
Both the runs on Sunday will start in the meadow just like a Cross Country race start! Exciting!!! Both distances start together – fast people up front or prepare to get run over!
