2025 Race Schedule
The Bear
When: April 5, 2025
Organizer: Rattler Racing
Location: Lakewood, Bear Creek Lake Park
The annual kick-off to the racing season in the Front Range. This race is different every year due to the volatile spring weather. When it's dry, the course is fast and punchy. A great atmosphere fueled by hundreds of riders, happy to be out of the bike cave and into the light!
Fangdango
When: May 10, 2025
Organizer: Rattler Racing
Location: Castle Rock, Philip S Miller Park
Another early season test. Typically, this race is scheduled close to Cinco de Mayo, a great Pre-Marg activity IMO.
This course is twisty, fast and loose. Be prepared to practice handling skills on flat loose turns.
Gunnison Growler
When: May 24, 2025
Location: Gunnison, Hartman Rocks
Just one of the best courses and events out there. Proper mountain bike course, with many rock formations that keep you entertained for the 32 mile Original Course or the 40 mile Big Bad course.
Post race awards are downtown Gunnison at I.O.O.F Park. Food trucks and local craft beer are brought in to facilitate the refueling. Great afternoon soaking up the sun and maybe stepping onto a podium?
Pike's Peak Apex
When: June 5 - 8, 2025
Organizer: Colorado Springs Sports Corp
Location: Colorado Springs, Canon City, Cheyenne Canon
Three stage race on what looks like some really fun trails. First time doing this one. Stage one is a time trial, which is different, looking forward to racing against the clock, without the typical starting crowd.
