SBPark Race Series #1: Vapor

2021 Information

Now in its fourth year, the Snowmass Bike Park’s Local Race Series is back for another season of local racing. Join local and visiting riders, or challenge your friends on a different course each week, then exercise your bragging rights over a cold beer at the Limelight Hotel Snowmass after the race. These events are being held in conjunction with Snowmass Bonus Nights at Elk Camp & Bonus Bike Nights held every Tuesday from June 29 – August 10.

Waves
In order to spread out competitors, racing will begin at 4pm and the last start will be at 6:30pm. When registering competitors will be asked to select a wave. There will be 3 waves, 4-5pm, 5-6pm, & 6-6:30pm. There will not be a specific start time within your wave but we ask that you stick to the hour of the wave you selected. Racers will start at intervals of 1 per minute.

Check-In
All competitors will need to check in at the base of the Elk Camp Gondola to receive a timing chip and bike plate. Check in will begin at 3pm and close at 5:30pm. Racers should check in each week to confirm you are on the start list.

Awards
We will host an awards ceremony after the 6th race. Each registrant will be entered into a raffle to win prizes from our sponsors each week. You will be notified via email after the event if you are selected as a prize winner. The winner of the series will be determined by the best 5 of 6 results. Instead of cumulative time over the series the finish place (ie 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) will be added up. The winner will be the racer with the lowest sum of 5 out of 6 race results.

Team Competition
Racers can group up to form a team whose combined individual times over the series of all 6 races will determine the winner. The top 3 times from each team will be added each week and the top 3 teams will be awarded at the end of the series. Teams must have a minimum of 3 and maximum of 8 members.
