2027 SCHEDULE
With our change to racing only three days, we're in the process of making three new "best of" routes. Once we have the routes finalized, we'll update the below schedule with stage names and locations. At this time, the below will give you an idea of what each day will look like.
The Below Schedule Is Subject To Change
Official Schedule Will Be Emailed To Participants Before Race Week.
Stage 0.1: Shake Out Ride
Location TBD
Wednesday, May 19, 2027
10:00 AM Shake Out Ride Begins*
*We still need to finalize a route for the shake out ride, but you should expect a 1.5-3 hour ride. Once we finalize our route, we will update everything for you.
**This ride will be a casual no drop ride. We'll regroup at each trail head to make sure that everyone is still together. We're excited about this new idea and hope that you'll join us.
***Miles from the official shake out ride route will count towards your belt buckle miles to gain even more miles towards our epic buckles.

Boal City Brewing After Party
Saturday, May 22, 2027
The racing may be over, but the fun isn’t!
Join us at Boal City Brewing in Boalsburg to relax, share a pint, and swap stories from an amazing week of racing. And the best part? The first pint is on our friends at Boal City! 🍻
Still hungry after the racing? No problem. A food truck will be on hand, and we’ll also have some live music to keep things rolling.
There’s plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and if the temperatures are a little chilly, Boal City will fire up the fire pits so we can gather around, warm up, and tell a few more stories from the week.
Come hang out, relive the highlights, and celebrate another great week together. We’ll see you at Boal City!

You Ain't Gotta Go Home, But Yinz Can't Stay Here.
*NO MEALS are served on this day.
**Please help us with the cleanup the best you can. You can do this by washing any dishes you've used, putting all trash in the bins provided in each cabin, etc. We will take care of the big things like getting the trash to dumpsters, sweeping, mopping, etc. We have a lot to clean in a short amount of time, so all help is greatly appreciated.
