Trail Showdown Race Series
Trail Showdown Is Back for the 2026 season
Seven Races. One Season. More Chances to Line Up.
Trail Showdown is back with seven races across the season. One stop lands during Bike Fest weekend in July.
Same races you look forward to every summer. Same community. Same grit.
This year we’re adding Sunday race days and select Thursday night throwdowns. More chances to line up and make it fit your schedule.
Every race wraps with a podium for each category, awarding the top three riders. Race a single event and chase your best time, or stack your results across the series and go after the overall points title at the end of the season.
