| About the Weekly Race Series |
|
The Weekly Race Series is a summer long race series held at Soldier Hollow and Sundance Resort located in the great Wasatch Mountain in Utah. The series has been running for 7 years and continues to draw large numbers of participants ranging from some of the top professional riders Utah has to first time riders and racers. This series is ideal for riders of all ages and abilities. Racers are separated into various groups depending on skill, age, and ability; each riding a different distance. There are no "winners" on a weekly basis. Each rider is awarded points for their finishing place. Points are tallied every week and accumulate to the grand prizes which are awarded at the end of the season. Each week we have numerous sponsors who donate generous prizes to be given away in a raffle format at the conclusion of each race. Everyone who participates has a chance to win. This atmosphere makes the Weekly Race Series fun for everyone. The races are held at two of the most beautiful and challenging resorts in Utah. Sundance ResortSundance Resort offers riders challenging climbs with numerous downhill decents and perefectly built singletrail switchbacks. The Sundance course is a favorite for riders who enjoy fast and fun singletrack with technical decents and fast and rolling doubletrack. Soldier HollowSoldier Hollow, home of the Olympic Cross Country Skiing events at the 2002 Winter Olympics, is a fun and spectator friendly race course. Each year brings new sections of singletrack that is fast and fun to ride. Soldier Hollow is also the location of our exclusive Biathlon events. In the Biathlon Event, riders race through shorter loops, than our regular race course, and riders are required to stop and shoot at five targets in the Biathlon Shooting Range. Each shot that is missed requires a small penalty lap. This course requires speed and accuracy to do well. Good shooters may find themselves beating racers who are normally much faster. Overall this venue is great to watch and even more fun to participate in. To find out more about the Biathlon, you can read about it in the Rules & Regualtions. Take a look at the schedule and find time to come out and ride with us this year. |
