COURSE INFO

In 2015, Fountain Valley School began developing mountain bike trails on campus with the goal of one day hosting a Colorado League race. The racecourse includes flowing singletrack with several moderate climbs through pristine ranch land. The 6.5 mile loop with 350 feet of climbing per lap suits powerful riders. Running counterclockwise, the course  starts and finishes near the center of campus and spectators will be able to see much of the action from the venue. Special thanks to the Fountain Valley School, Curtis Singmaster, and Medicine Wheel Trail Advocates.
