Swamp Dash is our series opening race—an experience designed with first-time racers in mind. Located at our very own Gators Bike Park, this is the perfect opportunity to get riders comfortable with the race experience. The courses are short, on familiar trails, with small start groups, and lots of cowbell!
Riders must register to participate. The registration window is April 1 through midnight on the Wednesday before the race.
