A community mountain bike racing experience for cyclists of all ages and abilities
MID WEEK MISSION
The mission of the Mid Week MTB and Fat Bike Series is to foster connections throughout the mountain biking community, to provide fun racing events for all ages and abilities, and to support all levels of individual skill-building and mountain biking goals.
Our generous sponsors help us keep our entry fees low, keeping our races accessible to racers of all ages and ability levels. We value a positive, community-focused atmosphere over podium presentations and feature a giveaway stacked with sponsor-provided gear on each evening of racing.

Sponsor the 2025 Mid Week Fat Bike & MTB Series
Our sponsors are the backbone of the Mid Week Fat Bike and MTB Series. Without your support, we wouldn't be half the race series we are. Sponsorship dollars are used to offset race production costs and your awesome swag is given away at the end of each evening to a crowd of enthusiastic riders and volunteers.
In addition to having the opportunity to hang out on beautiful winter or summer evenings with the 1000+ unique members of the Mid Week race community, sponsoring the Mid Week Race Series shows your support of Bike Utah’s efforts to provide complete cycling infrastructure, safety education, access to gear & maintenance, a thriving cycling community, and inclusive planning & policy to all Utah residents.
