Cacapon Resort State Park will host race #3 of the 2023 season. It is located in the eastern panhandle and is a true gem. The park is surrounded by a golf course and incredible scenery. The park has a beautiful lake complete with a beach and diving area, as well as miles of scenic trails for hiking/biking enthusiasts of all skill levels. The race course will start in an open field and will meander through the picnic area to spread the racers out before heading into the woods. Once entering the woods, you will be Rocking and Rolling, up switch back climbs, and back down through berms that are as smooth as butter.
This course and venue is sure to be a family favorite.
Online registration closes Wednesday before each race at 11:30pm

Race day would not be possible without the incredible work of our volunteers. It takes a “village” to put on quality youth mountain bike races. Many parents and cycling enthusiasts find that getting involved with our events is a fun and rewarding experience.
We know some positions can look complex and possibly overwhelming for first-time volunteers. Rest assured ALL of our volunteer positions are fun and require no previous experience, and our Core Race Staff are with you every step of the way. You will feel confident and well prepared for your task.
Here is the link to signup for volunteer spots.

All participants are required to read, understand and abide by all league policies, rules and protocols while attending any league event.
Emergency Access Plans (EAPs) are an integral piece of the overall system we use to proactively identify and manage the risks inherent to the sport of mountain biking, while supporting the goals of developing student-athletes as riders and having fun. EAPs help us think through the challenges and appropriateness of an event venue, as well as help us plan ahead and prepare for managing incidents that occur during an event.
