2016 Backcountry Burner MTB is CANCELED. We appolgize that due to race location logistics we are unable to host the race this year. We are still looking to host it in 2017 so please check back later this year. Please check out our MTB Series which will still be held in August (www.HRraceseries.com).
The Backcountry Burner MTB Race is a NEW race to the Highlands Ranch Race Series for 2016! We are excited to bring you our popular Backcountry Burner course that is featured in our August HR MTB Series but with some new twists and 2 additional laps! Total course mileage is 3 x 10 mile loops = 30 miles.
Mountain bike racers of all abilities are welcome! There are four categories - A (expert - cat 1/2), B (intermediate - cat 3), C (beginner / recreational - cat 4/5) and Junior (high school ages 14+).
This is a fun, laid back (yet competitive!), non-sanctioned event for those of you who love racing and want to prepare for your more competitive weekend races. It's also a great way to try a mountain bike race in a friendly environment!
