Dates have been set for Race to Sunset – 2013

Race to Sunset
Endurance Mountain Bike Festival
June 7-8, 2013

ABOUT

RACE TO SUNSET is an Endurance Mountain Bike Festival, designed to bring
together mountain bikers from near and far for some good ol’ North Dakota fun!
As the state’s only endurance mountain bike event, Race to Sunset seeks to introduce new mountain bikers to endurance sports through a supportive, upbeat atmosphere, while concurrently attracting some of the best fat-tire athletes in the
United States.

Now in its ninth year, Race to Sunset will be organized around two days of riding/racing opportunities.  Activities on Friday (June 7th) will ‘roll out’ with a “Hot Lap” competition, where participants can test their time trial abilities on 3.2 miles of awesome single-track.  Following the “Hot Lap,” there will be a “Slow Race,” which allows the track standing specialists to strut their stuff by being the last to cross the finish line without putting their foot down.  The keystone event (for which the festival is named) will occur Saturday, where solo and team riders will complete as many laps as possible over either 5 or 10 hours.  All festival events will be held at Sleepy Hollow Exchange Club Park in Bismarck, ND.  Proceeds from Race to Sunset will be applied to support local mountain bike trail projects.

REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Registration for the 10-hour race will be $35 per person, while registration for the 5-hour race will be $30 per person (regardless of team or solo rider status).  Registration will include entry into the endurance race/ride on Saturday, as well as the “Hot Lap” and “Slow Race” competitions Friday evening (the latter being optional, if desired).  There will be awards for the top placing solo riders and teams, as well as plenty of perks, including: a ‘Race to Sunset’ keepsake, energy drinks and high-carb goodies throughout the day, and a delicious catered post-race dinner.  Participants will have the opportunity to purchase additional meal tickets for family and/or friends.  This year’s race will have a limit of 150 riders, and registration deadline is June 5th.
