The Cross Country Mountain bike race carries on 20 years of tradition of racing on Marquette’s renowned South Trail system. The races utilize challenging singletrack terrain.
The long course will be approximately 21.8 miles, the short will be around 11.5 miles.
New for 2025, we will be separating the Long and Short XC start times. Long XC will start at 9:30 am, Short at 10:30 am.
There will be a cut-off time for the Long XC at the aid station after the first loop (near Marquette Mountain). If you do not reach the aid station by 11:30 am (2 hours), you cannot proceed to the second loop in the race.
There will be podiums for Men & Women in each the long and short race, as well as a single-speed category.
NO E-BIKES. WE KEEP IT OLD SCHOOL.
Please see the Schedule of Events for the exact time and location of each race.
