Not only will you be riding some of the most demanding terrain in Northern California, but you will also be riding some of the most down right hootin and hollerin fun trails you’ve ever laid two wheels on. From the soul crushing 30 mile long course to the miles to smiles optimized short course, there is something for every fat tire enthusiast.

Igo Trail
On the long and intermediate courses you don’t have to climb Cosmos like you did in year’s past! Redding Trail Alliance is busy working on a new trail to replace Cosmos. This new trail will be named after a local small community, Igo. The Igo trail will wind up the beautiful and rugged Stoney Gulch drainage with an average grade coming in just under 7%. We are sure you will hate it “less” than Cosmos. Until our trail crew has finished the new Igo trail, the maps will reflect the old course that includes cosmos.
Cut off Time
For the long course racers we will be having a cutoff time of 3 hours and 30 minutes at the left turn that sends the long course up the Escalator for the second time. So if you are not sure you can make the cutoff, please consider one of the other courses. We are doing this for the safety of our racers and to ensure our volunteers have a great day helping you along the course and still get to make it back in time to enjoy a meal and beverages.
Long & Pro Course
29 miles & 4,000 ft
