General Race Schedule
General Race Information
The Mid Week Endurance Relay is a 6-hour MTB event hosted in celebration of the longest day of the year! Solo and team racers will ride laps on this fun 7-mile course beginning at 6:00 pm and ending at midnight. Those with the most number of laps in each category will be awarded prizes for their efforts.
We’ll begin the race with a mass start on College Way/Riverview Double Track roads. Racers will have 0.75mi to spread out before a 1.25mi climb to the top of Hobbiton Hill. From there, you’ll roll along Rivendell for 2.25 miles until the fast 1.5mi descent down Rivendell and Upper Potatoes. At the bottom of those flowy turns, you’ll take a left turn onto the Riverview Double Track where you’ll coast along for 1.25mi until you turn right onto Lower Riverview trail for a quick descent to the timing tent, completing a lap.
Our timing crew will record laps for each solo racer and team inside the timing tent. Team handoffs will occur just outside the timing tent after each lap.
Bring your friends and family! This course is great for spectators, and solo riders and teams will be able to set up space in our base area.
Volunteer with us!
Our races don’t happen without the support of our amazing volunteer community. If you’re coming to our races as a spectator - try volunteering! Need to use those community service hours at work - we’ve got a spot for you!
Mid Week MTB Series volunteers receive an awesome t-shirt, a free entry to a future race, an entry into our evening giveaway, and a lot of love and high fives from racers!
We’ve got volunteer spots that last for a short time or the whole evening, are at the base area or on course, are hike-to or bike-to. We need energetic and enthusiastic people to help check in racers, trail marshal on course, sweep the last racers, and pick up course markings.
Get paid to volunteer! Bike Utah is a registered non-profit organization. Ask your employer about paid volunteer hours, paid days off to volunteer, or other potential benefits for volunteering. We will provide appropriate documentation.
Important info about these races
-
Please understand that by agreeing to race with us, you’ve agreed to everything in the Racer Handbook. Become familiar with that document - it contains a lot of good information!
-
This is a bike race. You agree to wear a helmet at our races ANY time you are on a bike. That includes in the parking lot, during warm-ups, on stage transfers, during cool-downs, etc.
-
We don’t take ourselves overly seriously, and you shouldn’t either. No one is here to qualify for the Olympics or win a big prize purse. Those who take home medals (or at least high fives and kudos) will be the ones who are the most friendly and supportive of all riders on course. Race results may not necessarily be available on race night, but some great sponsor-provided swag will be!

Sponsor the 2024 Mid Week MTB Series
Our sponsors are the backbone of the Mid Week Fat Bike & MTB Series. Without their support, we wouldn't be half the race series we are. Our goal with sponsorships is to help offset race production costs so that 100% of the revenue raised from registration fees can go directly to supporting other Bike Utah programs.
If you would like support the Mid Week MTB Series, please check out the sponsorship opportunities that are available for this season and get in touch with us!
