2024 Results and Photos

The Black River Grand Prix is growing! Join us on Saturday, June 8, 2024 for the Black River Grand Prix & Epic presented by the Hitchhiker Bike Shop, a celebration of big loops, varied terrain, and fun on bikes in the woods. The format is simple: a mass start on one big lap (or two). Want to race 12 miles of the best the Center has to offer? Enter the Grand Prix. Think it's so nice you want to do it twice? Then the Grand Epic is for you. And if racing isn't your thing and you just want a signed ride and tacos for lunch, then the Grand Tour has your name on it.
