Thirty-nine years ago, Winter Park Resort’s Competition Center hosted the iconic, inaugural mountain bike race for Colorado. The Winter Park Classics consists of the four races that capture our most popular routes from the classic courses that have been in use since the early days of the Winter Park Mountain Bike Series to reimagined classics, there is something for everyone.
This local’s favorite has become one of our Classics. Riders start at the base of Winter Park Resort leading onto our local trails in the extensive Winter Park/Fraser Valley trail system. It concludes in the nearby town of Fraser and awards are held back at Winter Park Resort.
From junior riders up to professional racers, we have a category that suits everyone - even if it’s your first race! We pride ourselves on offering a welcoming, fun race series for anyone who wants to get out and ride. For the professional rider, we offer a competitive professional rider purse for the top three men and top three women in each category. The Winter Park race series has included such legends as John Tomac, Ned Overend, Tinker Juarez, Juli Furtado, and David Wiens as well as the next generation of legends: Madigan Munro (Trek Factory Racing), Riley Amos (Trek Factory Racing), and Bjorn Riley (Trek Future Racing).
