To kick it off, Zion Ponderosa welcomes Rapid Cycling Racing with our exciting new “12 Hours of Zion.” Experience some of the world’s best cross-country mountain biking terrain in southern Utah as the race winds through tall desert pine trees and slickrock terrain. This first annual 12-hour race is designed for everyone, from beginner to pro.

The Course
The 12 Hours of Zion mountain biking race is a nine-mile course with 3,000 feet of climbing. There are about three miles of double track, the rest of the course is single track. Transition areas are at the start of the double tracks. Rapid Cycling Racing uses the best timing system provided by MyLaps. There will be two checkpoints to ensure accurate timing and neutral support. Maps and feed zones are subject to change.

The race is open to solo riders, and two, three or four person teams. If you have a junior cycler on your team, sign up as a family team. Teams must have a captain to register.
