Online registration can be found at Bikereg.com, and we encourage racers to register online before midnight, May 17.

Course Description

The 4.9 mile course at Englewood Grass Farm has been designed and constructed over the past 12 years specifically for cross county racing. It takes full advantage of the natural features of the property. Features include punchy climbs and technical rock gardens, with plenty of berms and jumps to keep racers on their toes while battling for position. Special attention has been given to create plenty of passing opportunities throughout the course, which allows safe and fair racing for all participants.

Attention

We are asking everyone to follow a few simple rules to make sure we can keep this party going for years to come.

Do not touch the fences, they will shock you.
No Pets Allowed. Because we are concerned for the saftey of all our guests and our livestock, we respectfully ask that you leave your pets at home. Also please leave the cows alone and do not open any gates.
No glass bottles. Broken glass is very dangerous to cattle and very hard to clean up.
Please keep our farm clean and use the trash bins we will have placed everywhere throughout the venue. We also ask that you leave your race flyers at home.
Please do not throw used gel packs on the course. Cattle like sugar and electrolytes too, and plastic wrappers can block their digestive tract. This has been an ongoing problem, and if racers are observed intentionally littering, a 5 min penalty will be added to their time. This penalty will be lifted after the offending racer has performed 30 minutes of course cleanup after their race.

Onsite Concessions - Available for purchase throughout the weekend featuring Englewood grass-fed beef burgers, snacks, and drinks.

Madison has many options for lodging as well, but it is recommended to look for lodging on the north and east side, as drive times can be unpredictable around the city. There are many AirBnB options nearby as well.
