The Event

The Spectators

Volunteers Needed

 

This event is not just for those that are racing. Spectators are given an opportunity to see the action first hand. Food, fun and music greet those who come to watch the action. Spectators have an opportunity to see some of the best racing in the Northwest as the riders compete for one of the richest prize purses around. The time trials give onlookers an opportunity to see just how fast and aerodynamic the riders can be. Skin suits tear drop helmets and special carbon fiber wheels all assist in shaving off precious time and allow riders to maintain top speeds.


The road races will cover some of the most scenic landscape the area has to offer. The criterium will be a definite crowd favorite. The race will be conducted in the twilight hours on Saturday. Four separate races are run, one for each category competing, with the men's pro/semi-pro class running last. Spectators are able to get to within inches of the riders as they lean into the corners at break neck speeds. Thrills chills and some monster spills will keep the crowd glued to the action. In addition to the racing, music and raffles are on hand to make for the ultimate experience. Spectators and fans are invited up to Cooper Spur for one amazing post race celebration.


Racers will be finishing the last leg of the event at the Cooper Spur Ski Area and then descending down to the Cooper Spur Mountain Resort. Once at the resort riders and spectators will enjoy live music, food, prize drawings. This gives the community an opportunity to see up close what it is all about.
