Winter Warm-UP Short Track Race

The Winter Warm-Up Short Track Race is an opportunity for mountain bikers of all ages and skill levels to build community and warm up for race season. The race will be hosted on Monday, January 19th (Martin Luther King Jr. Day) on our custom built short track course at Lakeside Church in Folsom.

The short track format provides fun, close racing for the seasoned racer and, simultaneously, a positive, attainable, and welcoming experience for new racers on a short course that’s easily supported by coaches, teams, and families. All ages and skill levels are welcome with “Grom” elementary school, “678” middle school, high school, and adult age group categories offered.

The Winter Warm-Up Short Track Race is an evolution from our Good News Mountain Bike Race Series. The Good News races started as pop-up races in early 2021, when the COVID-19 pandemic created uncertain circumstances for pulling off events successfully. The short course format and pre-season timing was so well-received that these races have remained on our calendar, evolving into a race day that brings the community together to gear up for mountain bike season.
