9 August 2022 - Canceled due to lack of interest.
Mountain bike racing at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center is back and bigger than ever! Join us the weekend of August 13 & 14, 2022 for the Black River Grand Prix Weekend, a celebration of fast racing, big loops, varied terrain, and fun on bikes in the woods. The format is simple: Saturday is a short track XC race and Sunday is a mass start on one big lap. This ain’t XCO or even XCC, this is VT mountain biking - flow, tech, jank, doubletrack, and even a dirt road or two - there’s something for everyone. Admittedly if you squint, the Short Track may look like what you see on RedBull TV, but rest assured there will be a distinct Vermont flavor.
Short Track - August 13
While some details still are being hashed out, the idea for the short track is to have a ~6-8min loop and a total time of ~30min of racing. The loop will feature singletrack, pavement, and likely a pump track segment or other manmade features. We’ll do separate starts for men’s and women’s short track.
