Short Track Preview On the Rocks II

A short track mountain bike race is like the high-intensity sprint version of mountain bike racing. Instead of long endurance courses, short track races take place on a compact, looping course, typically around 0.5 to 1 mile long, with a mix of dirt, grass, small hills, tight corners, and technical features like rock gardens. The race usually lasts between 20 to 30 minutes, making it a fast, intense, and spectator-friendly event. Riders do multiple laps, pushing their limits on speed and handling while jockeying for position. Because the course is short, there’s little time for recovery, and strategy plays a big role, knowing when to attack, how to handle corners efficiently, and managing energy is key. It’s an exciting, action-packed style of racing that blends endurance, skill, and head-to-head competition. Perfect for racers who love fast, aggressive riding! Note: This is mostly just for fun race and a preview of the course. This race will be timed, but it’s nothing official or sanctioned. Come for the races, stay for the atmosphere! We’ll have DJ Flex live on-site spinning beats, bevvies for sale as well as a delicious food from Birriera La Vaca food truck! Come race and watch the fun as racers battle it out on this non-traditional course for the first time. All are welcome! Pre-register before April 29th for the biggest kudos and good vibes from your race organizers! On-site registration will be available from 4:30pm – 5:15pm (but please read the sentence above this one).
