The Classic
5/10/2025
Founded in 1987…
the Lemurian is a true classic. From its original course at the Chappie OHV area near Shasta Dam, to its current home at Swasey Recreation area, one thing has remained the same, the Lemurian Classsic is a real mountain bike race. The climbs are steep, the trails rugged and the competition is stiff. The Lemurian Classic not only provides you with a chance to test your limits against fellow athletes, but it has become one of the largest fundraising events for the Redding area trails. All of the proceeds go to Redding Trail Alliance to help further their mission.
Dynamic Commemorative Logo
All of the proceeds from the Lemurian Classic go directly to our local non-profit trail stewardship organization Redding Trail Alliance. With over 20 miles of new trails constructed many more planned and ongoing efforts to reopen and maintain existing trails our small organization greatly benefits from this annual event, it’s participants and generous sponsors!
more trails!
Utilizing the talents of local designer Victor Sokolow of Studio 220, we will be releasing a dynamic logo every year combining elements of the original Lemurian Classic “Dark Side of the Mountain” logo with local wildlife (both real and mystical). This logo will only be available on that years race swag. So if you love it, make sure you get your entry before it sells out!
