July 2

The in-person event will be held on Saturday, July 2nd for the mountain bike and trail run races!

There will be three activities to choose from (Mountain Bike Race, Trail Run Race, and Road Ride), and each of those will have a number of options. You can do one event, do all of the events, or anything in between. You can also create your own off-site (not eligible for cash awards) if you cannot get to Eau Claire.

All events will count towards the FREE CORBA Trail Series.

We will also a need for volunteers for course setup, take down, and daily course checks for both the run and bike portions at Lowes Creek. Volunteers will also be needed for the “in-person” portion of the event on Saturday, July 2nd. Sign Up Here
