White Tail Ridge Corporate Park, River Falls, Wisconsin
We are proud to present the Seventh year of the Border Crossing.
The White Tail Ridge course will again challenge every type of rider. With a great mix of fast-flowing single track, roots and rocks, fast downhill sections, wide open fields, leg scorching climbs and our own signature elevated wooden berm. Whitetail Ridge is fast-becoming a Twin Cities favorite for riders looking for an ever-evolving challenge. Each race course is tailored to meet the ability level of racers, yet pose a challenge to keep things interesting. Whether it's a leg-churning climb or fun flowing downhill you crave, the trails at Whitetail Ridge will serve up something for everyone.
The race has evolved over the past years into a great community fund-raising campaign in which the local mountain bike club, Kinnickinnic Off-Road Cyclists (KORC) use 100% of the race proceeds to either build and maintain new trails at Whitetail Ridge along with promoting other mountain biking opportunities in the Twin Cities metro and St. Croix River Valley.
There will be rough on-site camping for those that wish to stay at the venue for the weekend and there are also a few great hotels very close by. River Falls and Hudson have an eclectic mix of restaurants and bars.
Please note: Exit either Main Street or Radio Road, go to Paulson Road and that will take you to Highland Blvd or Whitetail. From there you will see the race area.
On-line registration ends on July 5th at 8:00 pm.

All of the climbs, Beans & Franks, and the fast North Loop. The approximate distances are 7 miles per lap for the long loop. with Experts riding 4 laps, Comp riding 3 laps, and Sport riding 2 laps. The citizen loop will be slightly shorter with a little less climbing and fewer technical sections and will be two 5.5 mile loops. While the kids comp will be a bit shorter again on a 4.5 mile loop.
