Can You Rise to the Challenge?

Since opening in November 2022, The Rise has been one of the most used and loved features of fitness enthusiasts at Coler Mountain Bike Preserve. Now, we’re raising the stakes with the ultimate test of endurance and skill: The Rise Challenge!

  • Race Dates: August 17th & November 9th
  • Registration Fee: $50 – includes both races!
  • Choose Your “Division” (Race Time): 7 am, 8:15 am, or 9:30 am

The female and male racers that complete the most rounds (up & down = 1) for each race time will be crowned the Queen and King of their division!

There will also be crowned an overall day winner, and overall challenge winner, and most improved. Whether you’re aiming for the top spot, looking to push your limits, or can only make it to 1 race day, there’s a medal waiting for you!

Legendary DJ, Scotty 2 Wheels, will provide tunes for participants!
