The Landmine Classic is a "don't miss" race. This race features a one-loop course: 7.6 miles for first time racers, 12.5 miles for Cat 3 and Fat Bikes, and 25 miles for Cat 2, Cat 1, and Pro. We also offer a marathon option where you do two 25-miles laps.

Almost entirely on singletrack, this race showcases a great deal of what Wompatuck has to offer trail-wise as well as some of the historic features of the park (including bunkers, blasting walls, etc.) from when the park was used as a military compound. Over the 25 miles you will encounter almost every type of trail situation - rocks, roots, berms, pavement (minimal), fast and slow trails, etc. This course takes you through the best of New England mountain biking!

All of the proceeds from the race go right back to the park. Using proceeds from previous years' races, we were able to reclaim South Field, the site of the race, to make the area a more family friendly, open space to enjoy. We also have opened new trails, resurfaced bridges, and completed general park maintenance with proceeds.

The ROOT 66 Race Series is a series of cross country and marathon races put on by racers, bike clubs, and shops dedicated to quality mountain bike races. The ROOT 66 mission is to provide New England Riders with the most competitive, yet fun racing for all. Now in its 12th season, this series has become some of the most fun and competitive mountain bike racing in the region.

The 2016 Series is a made up of 13 cross-country mountain bike races and 2 marathon races held at different venues throughout New England between April and mid September. All the races are well-established, and some even date back before the series began. Additionally there are free events for children 5-11 years old, easy-to-enter races for racers 12 year olds and older, family entertainment, and affordable entry fees.

We've also listened to you, the racer, and your concerns. You wanted reasonable entry fees. You've got it! You wanted timely results and series scoring and you got it! We heard in great detail how and where you would like to see the future of cross country racing evolve and we've delivered. That future is now at the Root 66 Race Series.

The course is located at the Catamount Family Center in Williston Vermont. Formerly at the Millstone Trails.   Course distance is 5.4 miles and features 80% single track. The single track is twisty, moderately rooty and rocky, but flows well. There are three moderate climbs (first halfof course and towards course end), and the rest of the course it littered with short, fast ramps and grunts in wooded single track.  There are two A-Lines  in the course that  will require expert skills. The race course begins at the bottom of a large open field and climbs gently in order to spread racers out before entering the wooded single track.

The Grind is a cross-country race with categories for all abilities and ages (12 and up). It takes place in a truly unique setting: the approx. 5.5-mile rolling course loops. Nearly the entire course is wooded, so racers are shaded from the sun.

State 9 Racing, RideBiker Alliance and ROOT 66 are thrilled to bring a new venue to the mountain bike racing roster for 2016. This race will be the second stop for the Kenda Cup East circuit. Bear Brook State Park, in Allenstown NH, offers a wide variety of trails for us to design a seriously rad course. Fast, flowing, and technical are these trails. The course will be approximately 8 miles long. A CYCLOCROSS ENDURANCE RACE is also going to be part of the event. This is a new category of cx/gravel racing that includes fire roads, smooth single track, hills and distance longer than your typical cross race. Come see what this new race discipline is all about! Recommended tire pressure is 40-55 for tubes and 30-45 if tubeless.  

You will not be disappointed in the fun and excitement this race will bring. There are over 30 miles of trails to enjoy in this beautiful state park. The park can also be linked with FOMBA, in Manchester, and other networks through snowmobile trails and endless double track. If you haven’t yet, the BB Classic will get you coming back to enjoy the rest of the trails. After race refreshments will be available by a local food truck, and tasty beer provider.
