#OptOutside on Black Friday by joining Friends of Big Marsh and partners for the inaugural race at the newly completed BIG MARSH BIKE PARK! 

This race is a fundraiser with all proceeds benefitting Friends of Big Marsh for continued buildout of park features.

Start the day by experiencing a free walking tour of the park highlighting its history, ecology, features, bike access, & discussion of future phase buildout. 

Strap on your helmet (required for riders) and race through the park on a variety of the expert-designed features! There are race categories for all skill levels (including kids and first-timers) of an approximate 1.5 mile course based on skill level. Races are suitable for any type of off-road worthy bike (cyclocross, mountain, fat bike, bmx, dirt jumper, etc).
