What you need to know:
The course uses non-technical trails, since we want this race to be fun and accessible for both newer and experienced off-road riders. The challenge of this race is steady-rolling laps all night long. The team that turns the most laps over those 12 hours wins the race for their class.
Changes due to insurance requirements:
Helmet lights are not permitted. We don’t like it either, and we’re working to change it, but that’s where we are in 2025... thank you for your cooperation. This means all your lighting must be on the bike. Nothing besides goggles is allowed on your helmet; no Go-Pro mounts, no Velcro, NADA! We will inspect your helmet during tech inspection to ensure it is compliant. We highly encourage creative lighting solutions, neon LED ground effects, light sticks, as many bike lights as you can attach… so long as they are not helmet mounted. NOTE: For the purposes of this insurance requirement, your helmet visor DOES COUNT as part of your visor.
All competitors must show proof of AMA membership. You are required to show proof of AMA membership during registration on race day. Competitors will have the option to purchase an event-only membership on-site, but we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE competitors to take care of this before race day. We made nice, simple, how-to instructions here.
Details about the race:
Team size from one to three riders
Course info is withhelath until race day. It's more fun this way, trust us! (if you're a spectator or volunteer, the staging area location will be announced prior to race day)
Riders on teams may use their own motorcycles during the race (that is, the team does not need to ride the same bike throughout the event)
No helmet lights or GoPro mounts on helmets (see above). This includes visor-mounting lights etc.
