Got a question? You’re not alone. Check out our FAQs for our most commonly sought-after race info. If what you need isn’t here, shoot us an email at community@clippedinforlife.org.

• Can I come just for the races?

  Yes! You can register for the races a la carte, camping is not required to participate. Visit the Registration page for more info on what’s included.

• How does the 6 Hour MTB Race work?

  Ride as many laps as you can in 6 hours! You can tackle the challenge on your own in one of our solo categories, or join forces with friends and family in one of our team categories. The race starts at 8:00am, the cutoff to start your final lap is 2:00pm, and the cutoff to finish is 3:00pm. The most laps accrued in the shortest amount of time wins for each category!

  Team Categories: The first rider will start their lap with the mass start at 8:00 AM. Each subsequent rider may begin their lap when the previous rider is finished. There will be a team exchange area located near the finish line in Asbill Valley, which is a great place to post up and cheer for your teammates!

  Grom Teams: Groms under age 12 competing on a Grom Team or Grom Family Team will do their laps on a shortened course. Groms on the same team will be allowed to complete their laps at the same time to encourage camaraderie.

• What other accommodations are available if I don't want to camp?

  Huttopia Wine Country, located on Six Sigma’s property, delivers an elevated camping experience! Huttopia’s custom-designed wooden frame and canvas tents keep you close to to nature and all it has to offer while offering all the luxuries of home, such as power, real beds, private toilets, showers, camp kitchens, and more, depending on the option you pick.

  Huttopia believes in the richness of experience, including the breathtaking beauty of a starry countryside sky, the serenity of spending time alone in nature, surrounded only by the sights, sounds, and scents of the hills and the ranch, and the joy of a quick trip outside.
