Sweat Shaker Mountain Bike Race

Come out and enjoy one of Michigan's best mountain bike trails on the Harrison Campus of Mid Michigan College. It's set in a beautiful forest with massive trees and rolling hills. This trail sports some long, gentle climbs (a few not so gentle) and holds up well to rain. A nice combination of mostly fast-flowing trails, some tighter technical areas, and a couple of short sections of hilly two tracks. This course will be challenging and fun for all racers.

Proceeds benefit the maintenance and improvement of Mid’s recreational facilities.

The race has an approximately 1/2 mile rollout. Beginner classes are one abbreviated lap - approximately 9 miles. Sport classes are 1 lap - 18 miles and Elite/Expert is 2 laps- 27 miles. Wave starts will begin promptly at 10:30am with Elite/Expert classes, immediately followed by Sport and Beginner classes.
