The Race Course

Two courses · best combined time wins

New for 2026 — two different race courses in a single event. Run 1, Gnome Wrecker: ¾ mile of loamy tread, flowing berms, and technical drops with a 378-ft descent (~4 minutes of non-stop action). Run 2, Loam Wrecker: a beloved 1-km black-diamond — steep, loamy, and loaded with technical features. Your best combined time across both runs takes the win.
