It might be the first, but it won’t be the last. Introducing the very first Park City Point 2 Point endurance mountain bike race. Park City has over 300 miles of trail; it’s ripping fast and incredibly diverse. Whether you’re someone who rides the trails regularly or an out-of-towner, this race is guaranteed to impress.
The course will be a true point-to-point event. Thanks to the myriad of trails in this area, the race will never be on the same trail twice. You’ll ride single-track trail the entire time with a small exception at the start, which will include a short ride on a dirt road just to spread things out. The total distance and vertical are still in the works, but our target distance is around 75 miles, which will include 10-12,000 vertical feet of climbing. So get up here and do what you're afraid to!
