A female-identifying-only community MTB racing experience that is fun, challenging, and supportive for riders of all ages and abilities.
These female-identifying-only events follow the same Mid Week Mini Enduro format featuring two stages of enduro racing where you will ride uphill to each stage start, and you’re only timed on the downhill portions of the course. We welcome MTB riders of all ages and abilities, and our mission is to support all levels of individual skill-building and mountain biking goals.

General Race Schedule
Volunteer with us!
Our races don’t happen without the support of our amazing volunteer community. If you’re coming to our races as a spectator - try volunteering! Need to use those community service hours at work - we’ve got a spot for you!
Mid Week MTB Series volunteers receive an awesome t-shirt, a free entry to a future race, an entry into our evening giveaway, and a lot of love and high fives from racers!
We’ve got volunteer spots that last for a short time or the whole evening, are at the base area or on course, are hike-to or bike-to. We need energetic and enthusiastic people to help check in racers, trail marshal on course, organize racers at the start lines, and pick up course markings.
Get Paid to Volunteer! Bike Utah is a registered non-profit organization. Ask your employer about paid volunteer hours, paid days off to volunteer, or other potential benefits for volunteering. We will provide appropriate documentation.
Important info about these races
-
Please understand that by agreeing to race with us, you’ve agreed to everything in the Racer Handbook. Become familiar with that document - it contains a lot of good information!
-
This is a bike race. You agree to wear a helmet at our races ANY time you are on a bike. That includes in the parking lot, during warm-ups, on stage transfers, during cool-downs, etc. Full-face helmets are NOT required for the Mid Week Mini Enduro races, but helmets ARE required on all stage transfers as well as on course.
-
Registration for Mini Enduro races doesn’t close until 48 hours before the event. You will recieve your specific Stage 1 start time shortly after registration closes. General start times based on category can be found in the General Race Schedule above.
-
We don’t take ourselves overly seriously, and you shouldn’t either. No one is here to qualify for the Olympics or win a big prize purse. Those who take home medals (or at least high fives and kudos) will be the ones who are the most friendly and supportive of all riders on course. Race results may not necessarily be available on race night, but some great sponsor-provided swag will be!

Sponsor the 2024 Mid Week MTB Series
Our sponsors are the backbone of the Mid Week MTB Series. Without their support, we wouldn't be half the race series we are. Our goal with sponsorships is to help offset race production costs so that 100% of the revenue raised from registration fees can go directly to supporting other Bike Utah programs.
If you would like support the Mid Week MTB Series, please check out the sponsorship opportunities that are available for this season and get in touch with us!
