The USA Cycling Mountain Bike Marathon National Championships will once again take place at the Firecracker 50 in Breckenridge, Colorado this year, with men’s and women’s singlespeed categories being added this year for the first time.
Registration for the 14 national championship categories is now open, and a special registration period exclusive for stars and stripes competitors will run through March 3rd. There are only 750 total spots available for the race, so those looking for a shot at a national title will have the next two weeks to register before it opens up to everyone. Registration for non-championship competitors then opens on March 3, and national championship contenders can continue to register until all slots are filled. Organizers recommend registering early, as last year’s event was sold out, and more competitors are expected to ride the Firecracker 50 this year.
Registration can be done via SportsBaseOnline here, and there is more information about the Firecracker 50 here.
