The Good News Mountain Bike Race is a pre-season “Dirt Crit” race designed as a warmup for mountain bike race season. What’s a Dirt Crit MTB course you ask? Well it’s got a bit of everything except big climbs, longer than a short track course, shorter than a cross country course, and the fun of going all out on your MTB!
Good News provides fun, close racing for the seasoned racer and, simultaneously, a positive, attainable, and welcoming experience for new racers on a short course that’s easily supported by coaches, teams, and families. All ages and skill levels are welcome with “Grom” elementary school, “678” middle school, high school, and adult age group categories offered.
The Good News Mountain Bike Races started as pop-up races in early 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic created uncertain circumstances for pulling off events successfully. The short course format and pre-season timing was so well-received that these races have remained on our calendar, evolving into a race day that brings the community together to gear up for mountain bike season.
All ages & skill levels welcome with elementary, middle, & high school categories, and adult age groups.
