A fun relay/endurance XC MTB race, where racers will do multiple, up-and-down laps on a varied 6-to-8 mile loop at Skibowl East (Government Camp, OR). The course will feature the best trails that Skibowl has to offer, including plenty of fun, twisty singletrack trails. The estimated elevation gain per lap is about 400'. Each lap, racers will get treated on great views of Mt Hood, a fully-stocked aid station, DJ-ed music and non-stop race announcing (featuring Luciano "The Voice of Short Track",) and a ton of cheers from their fellow racers. Racers can race as a 2-person team, as a multi-person team (3 to 6 riders), or solo. Start, finish, and food/aid station will be located at Multorpor Lodge.
