2023 Race Information
Food and beverage will be available at the Grand Avenue Chalet.
COGGS and Spirit Mountain are once again excited to bring you a race course with unparalleled variety. This year will again be a true test of your grit and stamina, ‘The Modern Day Powder Monkey’.
The Kids Comp and Citizen lap is a combination of fun flowy singletrack and doubletrack. The Kids Comp and Citizen courses DO NOT climb Spirit Mountain.
The Sport, Comp, Marathon and Elite classes will tackle Spirit Mountain. The course begins with the fun flowy and technical singletrack and doubletrack at the bottom of Spirit Mountain. The course will then be a grinder up "The Puker" to the top. Your hard work will then be paid back in a fun, fast, and technical descent. There will be “A” and “B” lines to help reward those who have the “Send it” spirit in them. The “A” line will feature a large drop and steep rocky chute where the “B” line will feature a ride around.
Sport Women will do 1 lap. Sport Men and Comp Women will do 2 laps. Comp Men and Elite Women will do 3 laps. Elite Men will do 4 laps. Marathon gives you the opportunity to ride as many laps as you can in 4 hours.
*Specific course elements are subject to change based on course conditions on race day and discretion of the race director and property owner.
The XC course is currently marked and ready for pre-riding. Knowlton Rocks (part of the Sport/Comp/Elite/Marathon XC course) will be taped for the Enduro race and unavailable Saturday from 2-4:30. The Short Track race on Friday evening uses a section of the XC course and will be unavailable at that time. Other than that, ride on!
Reminder that the XC courses are NOT open for pre-riding on race day.
The event will be based at the Spirit Mountain Grand Avenue Chalet (at the bottom of Spirit Mountain)
