The first ever event of its kind in Sun Valley, this two day enduro stage race takes competitors on the four different, hair-on-fire downhill trails on Bald Mountain. Racers will use a combination of lifts and good old pedal power to reach the start of each course. Decisions, Decisions! Expect the trails to be worthy of anything from a 29’er hardtail to a 6” travel all-mountain bike. Pedal power will be balanced with skillful cornering and flow on tracks which are suitable for all levels of technical skill. Like a lot of Sun Valley trails it is all a matter of how wide you can keep the throttle open. Same bike and configuration for all stages mandatory.

Pumping for Bonuses, 7:00pm. Gain back time you lost on the day or put some time between you and your rivals. This is a one lap race on the Ketchum Pump Track with riders receiving time bonuses for their finish. 1st: 30 seconds, 2nd: 25 seconds, 3rd: 20 seconds, 4th: 10 seconds, 5th: 5 seconds to all categories.

sun valley bald juan xc
So, you don’t think marathon-level suffering is your bag? Make one lap of the Nationals course and get your beer drinking started in advance while your friends and family battle out a second lap.
Bald Juan XC racers will complete one circumnavigation of Bald Mountain, the region’s world famous ski area. Starting out in downtown Ketchum, racers will follow the Wood River Bike Trail corridor to climb the singlespeed-friendly Cold Springs Trail. From that point they will traverse the Warm Springs Trail before climbing back over the mountain to descend the River Run Trail where they will finish at River Run Base Area. This is last year’s Amateur Cross Country National Championships course.
On a course which is approximately 85% singletrack, Bald Juan racers will be kicking it in the sun sipping cold Ninkasi beer and enjoying the Ride Sun Valley Lawn-athon while their cohorts drive the final nail in the coffin on the US National Marathon National Championships Course. Expect a track of varying conditions from loose and dry to blue groove and fast that will leave you laughing and whooping between bouts of cross-eyed suffering brought on by lung taxing elevation gain.
Approximately 30 miles and 4,000 feet of climbing.
