Course
ABOUT THE COURSE | Sturdy Dirty racers should, at minimum, have intermediate skill and fitness levels to be comfortable with the trails on course. Our Enduro Lite, Beginner and Sport race segments will mostly be on blue downhill trails that tend to be winding, with roots and rocks and some rollable jumps and drops. You will want to be able to stay on your bike for the majority of the trail, though walking a small number of features is an option.
​
CATEGORIES | Not sure you're in the right category? Don’t worry! You can easily change your category up online until Wednesday at 5pm. You can also change your category when you pick up your race packet race. Check out the FAQ to learn how.
Please note that all the maps above show a start/finish in the paved parking area at he Raging River trailhead. THIS IS NOT CORRECT. All stages will start and finish in the staging area of Snoqualmie Point Park down by the stage. The course will be marked accordingly on Thursday.
Event Details
Getting to the race: We're staging at Snoqualmie Point Park. This is the huge and beautiful park at the base of the Raging River State Forest trail system.
​
Discover Pass: You'll need a Discover Pass to park in the lots at Raging River and Snoqualmie Point Park.
​
What to expect On-Course:
-
You will ride a combination of road and single track between stages, with all stages raced on single-track only.
-
At each stage, you will line up for your turn - expect a line. Its good to bring a coat to stay comfortable while waiting.
-
We also attempt to group racers by category for each stage, however, we expect that racers from different categories will start to mix more on later race stages. Be prepared for passing; be patient and courteous as both a passer and a passee.
-
We have fabulous aid stations! However, they may be serving up food and drinks that may not work well for you. They will have water available for topping off bottles, but plan to be self-sufficient so you can be well-prepared for the day.
-
We have amazing volunteers! It is how we are able to put on this race. Thank them often.
