The venue...

Off-Road heaven is what some call it.  The Lawrence River Trails (LRT) which are maintained by the Lawrence Mountain Bike Club offers a trail system that is fun for all ability levels and is rideable by absolutely anyone. The trails have the perfect combination of flowing dirt single track, hairpin turns, berms, and rolling hills. Expert to beginners will all enjoy the LRT.

Our festival...

Saturday morning (9:00 am) brings us the God’s Country Off-Road Duathlon.  For over a  decade this has been a fun and challenging multisport event for all ability levels.  This year we again increase the fun opportunities by offering both Long and Short course options.  Age-Group, Clydesdale, Relay Teams and Unicycle divisions are available.  It’s a great event for first timers.

Saturday afternoon brings us a challenging 3 hour event - The God's Country MTB Marathon presented by Club Ride Apparel .  We have moved the popular Marathon event to Saturday which will allow everyone to enjoy the course and challenge themselves with the course all to themselves. 

Sunday is the popular God’s Country Mountain Bike Classic presented by VANDOIT.com.   This will be the opening round of the 2017 Unified Federation of Dirt West series.  Traditional cross country mountain bike classes for all ability levels: Expert (Cat 1), Sport (Cat 2), Beginners (Cat 3), Clydesdale (225+), Juniors and Masters 60+.  We also added two special classes for this years event:  The popular BMX division returns (BMX and Cruiser bikes allowed) and a tandem class.  Bring your off-road tandem and enjoy a fun and challenging event.

Both days Stan will be providing free food.  We will also have free music. Come on out and get some FAT TIRE FUN.
