Mountain bike racing returns to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center! Join us August 15, 2021 for the Black River Grand Prix, a celebration of big loops, varied terrain, and fun on bikes in the woods. The format is simple: mass start, one big lap. This ain’t XCO, this is VT mountain biking - flow, tech, jank, doubletrack, and even a dirt road or two - there’s something for everyone.

The field will head off at 9am on a ~25k (~16mi) course featuring nearly all the riding the Center has to offer. The race never loops back into the stadium, so once you’re gone, you’re gone. First one back wins. We’re playing it close to the vest when it comes to the course layout, but rest assured almost all of it will be fun (what’s a race without a little suffering, right?).
