THIS RACE WILL FILL!

 

DCB Extreme Adventures and McDowell Mountain Regional Park would like to welcome you to the Dawn to Dusk Endurance Mountain Bike Event. Dawn to Dusk consists of counter clockwise laps on the beautiful Pemberton Trail at the McDowell Mountain Regional Park. This event is open to individuals and teams of either two, four or sign up your organization in the corporate category.


THIS EVENT WILL SELL OUT: NO WAIT LISTS SO REGISTER EARLY!


EVENT DESCRIPTION

Over the last two years, the Pemberton Trail at McDowell Mountain Regional Park has shown us it’s wicked and wonderful sides. This trail is a fantastic course for this event because of the variety and the amazingly scenic views of the Sonoran desert. The 15.5-mile loop will be traveled in a counter clockwise direction and each lap will snake you through the venue where you may refuel, rest or exchange your lap card with your teammate so they can take a turn out on course.
