Join us for the third edition of the Six Hours of Mt Hood - XC Mountain Bike Endurance & Relay Race!

Come race - as a two-person team or solo - with hundreds of other mountain bike enthusiasts, for six hours straight, on a fun and varied 8-mile loop at the Skibowl Mt Resort (Government Camp, OR). The 6-mile course features plenty of fun, twisty singletrack trails through beautiful forests. The estimated elevation gain per lap is about 1,000'. Each lap, racers will get treated on great views of Mt Hood, a fully-stocked aid station, free mechanical support, non-stop race announcing & music and a ton of cheers from their fellow racers. At the end of the event, racers will enjoy a free post-race chili meal and $1 beers, courtesy of our beer sponsor Hopworks Urban Brewing. The start/finish area will be at Skibowl West, next to the main parking lot (right off Highway 26).

This year, we are turning the event into a grand MTB race weekend by also hosting the 2012 OREGON SHORT TRACK XC STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS on Saturday (from 1 to 4pm) at Skibowl East (start/finish near the Multorpor Lodge).
